Founded in 1985 The family Center (TFC) is a DCS licensed child abuse prevention agency in Davidson and Rutherford Counties. Programs break cycles of trauma that negatively impact families, child development, and school n life success. How we parent our children impacts their lifelong health and welfare. Most parents are affected by daily demands, time limitations, and stress in general. It can be overwhelming. We reach out to parents that also have history of adversity and trauma and may not have had good parenting role models.
We use proven curriculum and expert staff to offer information, emotional support, skill building and personal insights to help people be the best parents possible.
