Our Work
Supporting & Growing Family Resource Centers
FRCA supports a network of member Family Resource Centers across the state of Colorado. Our Member Centers operate as stand-alone organizations that provide safe, accessible places for families to receive support services and referrals. FRCA provides membership options for existing FRCs and organizations interested in becoming an FRC in Colorado. We also provide guidance to communities in or outside Colorado seeking to establish an FRC. Learn more about membership here.

FRCA’s family support model uses a strengths-based, family-centered approach toward improved family health and well-being. The CFSA2.0 is a reliable family-level index of family functioning that uses an interview format to identify family strengths and areas for growth and change.
