Welcome to NFRC Online

Welcome to the National Family Resiliency Center’s new online community! As a nonprofit mental health center (formerly the Children of Separation and Divorce Center, Inc.), we help children and parents through family transitions. We’re very excited to be able to enhance the support we provide to our online “family.”

Having worked with more than 23,000 family members over the past 24 years, we have a vast amount of experience and knowledge. We have the gift of our peer counselors - children, teens and adults who have also been through family transitions and want to give back and volunteer their time to reach out to others. You’ll meet some of them as our online neighborhood unfolds.

Our center and staff are dedicated to helping families experience a healthy family transition so that children can remain “kids” and not be “children of divorce,” and that you as adults can move forward with your lives without rage, anger, guilt and self/other deprecation.

We'd also like to tell you more about another online resource: Family Connex, a self-paced parent planning program customized for your blended family. Visit www.familyconnex.org for details, and we'll be talking more about this important resource in future blog entries and podcasts.

We sincerely hope that our new online connection will not only be valuable to you but will create new connections with many others out there like you who deserve, welcome and benefit from support.

Contribute to the Family Therapy Fund

Through counseling and co-parenting courses, NFRC has an amazing impact on families. But NFRC has very limited funding to provide reduced-fee therapy for individual and family therapy. Any contribution you make will go toward making NFRC's services more affordable to families in financial need. For example, a $100 contribution will pay for five 1-and-a-half hour group therapy sessions. Every dollar makes a difference in people's lives. Donate directly with your credit card at the NFRC website, or mail your contribution to NFRC, 2000 Century Plaza - 121, Columbia, MD 21044.
