CFGC believes the family structure is the single greatest influence on an individual’s overall health, development, and well-being.
We believe when parents/caregivers are provided a safe, non-judgmental environment where knowledge and skill development is encouraged and confidentiality is protected, they will have the capacity to become healthier human beings and better parents/caregivers.
The encouragement, safety, and accessibility of our family education services will allow parents/caregivers the chance to improve their lives and effectively contribute to the well-being of their children and family.
To inquire about any of our Family Education Services, please fill out our appointment request form, call 903-893-7768, or come by our office during business hours Monday through Friday.
