Partnering to build a stronger community
Family Support Centers are a partnership between HopeSparks, the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department (TPCHD), Child Protective Service (CPS), Tacoma School District and Family Support Partnership (FSP). Center services promote mutual respect, open communication and joined problem solving, while valuing and building on family strengths. We also provide at-risk families information, support and the skills they need to raise healthy, productive citizens.
