Parenting is not an easy task...It's an around-the-clock job which is often overwhelming.  
Family Focus is there to help.  It's a special program designed to help you enjoy your role as a parent.  It's a place to share information and concerns with other parents during informal playtimes of structured classes.  Children meet other children their own ages in creative play situations.  At Family Focus we care about each member of your growing family.  Doesn't your family deserve to be the focus of attention? 


Family Focus serves all families in Newport News, Poquoson, York County, James City County, Williamsburg and surrounding communities.  Additional services are offered for families who meet eligibility criteria.  These services include home visits, teen parent support groups, classes for incarcerated parents and their families, and regular developmental screenings.
