Who We Are
Founded in 1976 by Bernice Weissbourd, a leading scholar and educator in child development, the organization has grown from a single site to seven direct service centers in the city of Chicago and the greater suburbs. What started as a drop in center for parents to find support with other parents has blossomed into many early childhood, youth and family support services all centered around the mission of strengthening families will nurture the child.
Family Focus continues to engage, educate and empower families to be the teachers and advocates of their children’s healthy development. Our program centers in Aurora, DuPage, Englewood, Evanston, Highland Park, Hermosa/Cicero, and Lawndale reached over 17,000 individuals last year.

I'd like to share a rather unusual, free, aces prevention resource...parenting tips bumper stickers. Advancing Parenting, a Camarillo CA nonprofit organization, produces parenting tips bumper stickers and makes them available at no cost to schools, organizations, agencies, clinics, businesses, and individuals. There are fifty-one in a set and each bumper sticker communicates a parenting behavior or practice generally recognized as supporting the healthy development of children. Just one will be read thousands of times!
Bumper stickers are a unique and powerful way to educate everyone about parenting. At stoplights drivers and passengers point, smile, and nod. Conversations start up and often a phone is used to take a pic of the sticker right at the stoplight. Presumably, they are being shared on social media. It's wonderful to see!
Sets of the stickers can be put in holders and placed on counters and tables so folks can select one or more for their cars. Visit
www.advancingparenting.org to order this free resource. Use a computer...our website is not optimized for phones. Please share.
