For all of you that had no idea what they were or what they do, I will fill you in.   Located on Harrison Blvd. near Weber State Univ. they are a support and counseling center that has a solid background.  I first visited with Tami who operates the Crisis Center.  She was very informative as to how they help the community.  Then I later met with a counselor who filled me with all the great counseling classes they offer.  The friendliness of the staff and variety of state approved counseling was something other places did not provide.  Family Support Center stands alone when it comes to their unique programs.

CRISIS NURSERY:  The crisis nursery is a need of anyone with a child who either has an emergency to attend to or maybe just needs some alone time.  The nursery accepts children from 1 month to 11 years.  Children cannot be sick, and they will take your child free of charge for up to 4 hours a week in two hour blocks.  The nursery can only accept up to 8 children at one time.  The nursery is very clean, and large, with a bedroom complete for babies and children.  When you bring you child in , they can provide everything, such as; diapers/wipes/clean clothing if a child soils theirs/meals/snacks/crafts.

72 HOUR CRISIS NURSERY:  This is a unique resource offered to anyone who may need or have a dire emergency situation.  You can safely leave your child for 72 hours and the child will be fully taken care of, so you won't need to worry.  However, if you leave your child more than 72 hours, Department of Child and Family Services will be notified to pick up the child.  They have a crisis hotline number if its middle of the night and  you need to bring a child in.

NOTE: to use the nursery you must have a phone on you at all times so you can be contacted.

COUNSELING: Here you will find state licensed and knowledgeable counselors for certain situations.  For example there are classes on Step Families, Peer Parenting, Foster Child Counseling, Grandparent Counseling, and many more.
