The Family Room supports connection for parents and families, provides education, promotes physical, social, emotional, and linguistic development in children, and nurtures a vibrant and diverse community.

‍

Each year, we serve over 1,500 individuals who live in 18 cities and towns in Chittenden County, Vermont and who speak 24 languages. Over 50% of our families are New Americans, immigrants and refugees, or identify as BIPOC. We have served generations of children ages prenatal-5 and their caregivers.

Our services combat social isolation and postpartum depression, empower fathers to take an active role in their children’s lives, improve school readiness in young children, prevent abuse and neglect, encourage better nutrition, and support those who suffer from substance misuse.
