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, organizations interested in becoming an FRC, and support to communities seeking to establish an FRC. Learn more about membership here.

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.
