Resource Center at 45 Rock Street, Fall River, in September 2015 to
provide information, referrals and community resources to individuals or
entire families. The Center also offers parenting education groups,
support groups, Grandparents
Raising Grandchildren, Healthy
Cooking Workshops, tutoring
assistance, and a Homework Club. Any family may request an assessment
and referral for any child requiring assistance by meeting with a
clinician and family partners. They will then develop a family support
plan and help to connect the family to any resources that the family may
need in the community. The space at the facility includes a resource
section for information and brochures as well as toys and space for
children to be involved in play groups. The space also includes a computer
center with laptops accessible to families to use. The space is used for Active
Parenting, Life
and Job Skills classes as well as a Caregiver Support Group for family
members dealing with Alzheimer's and dementia. Click here for a
