Westfield Family Support Network
To enhance services provided to Westfield families in need, eleven organizations joined forces to become "The Network". The Network is offering services that are known to prevent future generations from continuing the cycle of poverty. These free programs and services will be offered to both children and their parents and will include: GED classes, parenting support, playgroups, swimming lessons, clinical support, career and money management classes, resources and referrals, transition to college support and much more.
To learn more about the services and programs offered through the Westfield Family Support Network please view the following documents.
Please contact program coordinator, Laura Moses, to schedule an Intake Consultation. At these consultations Laura will work one-on-one with parents to gather necessary family information, help set goals and select the appropriate services needed to improve participants' lives. Please contact Laura at 413.275.4159 to learn more about the Network or set up an Intake Consultation.
The Network is comprised of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Westfield, Inc., The Carson Center for Human Services, Inc., DOMUS, Inc., Westfield Community Education, Westfield Area Head Start, Westfield Public Schools, Volunteers in Public Schools VIPS, Westfield State College, Westfield Athenaeum, The Family Support Coalition and Holyoke Community College. A $50,000 grant awarded by the Beveridge Foundation, Inc. Fund, as part of the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts' "5 and Under Initiative" has enabled these organizations to pool their ideas together and implement programs and services to help struggling Westfield families who have children 5 years and under.
