For 25 years, The Family Center has been a trusted source of information and support for families living in Michigan’s Grosse Pointe and Harper Woods communities. As a non-profit community organization, our work helps families and individuals connect – to each other and their communities. We do this by providing online resources and onsite programs that empower, guide, uplift and engage families through all of life’s pivotal moments.

While we predominantly serve the Grosse Pointe and Harper Woods communities, our resources are available 24/7 online, as well as by phone during business hours, to anyone in need.
