What does the Family and Training Center mean to the community?
A deeper impact in the Bowdoin-Geneva neighborhood. Families can join parent-child playgroups, make connections with other families, participate in nationally-recognized parenting programs, and find the help they need.
Stronger support for families throughout Boston. With an expanded, renovated building, Family Nurturing Center’s staff has a quality home base from which to provide programs in Boston neighborhoods.
Expanded Nurturing Parenting Programs throughout the Commonwealth. Family Nurturing Center is the only organization in Massachusetts recognized to train Nurturing Program facilitators. With the additional space now available, we are able to host more trainings for non-profits and government agencies from other communities to adopt the Nurturing Parenting model.
