Welcome to New Beginnings Family Services
Our Mission
To provide affordable case-management, legal and family services to at-risk families. We also bridge the gap between family-continuity and health when families engage with Family Court and the wider legal system. Through education, support and compassionate oversight, we assist parents in focusing on outcome-based, decision-making done in the best interest of their children in order to minimize child and family trauma.
Find hope in our wide array of services
New Beginnings Family Services delivers a comprehensive scope of prevention, early-intervention, intervention services, workshops, and assessments for the community. Our teaching and care teams include consultation with licensed attorneys, document-preparation with legal document-assistants, and assessment with mental and family health professionals that, together with our Case Managers, instruct and facilitate all of our classes and workshops.

“Toxic stress response can occur when a child experiences strong, frequent, and/or prolonged adversity—such as physical or emotional abuse, neglect, caregiver substance abuse or mental illness, exposure to violence, and/or the accumulated burdens of family economic hardship—without adequate adult support. This kind of prolonged activation of the stress-response systems can disrupt the development of brain architecture and other organ systems, and increase the risk for stress-related disease and cognitive impairment, well into the adult years.”
― Nadine Burke Harris, The Deepest Well: Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood Adversity
