Community Who Cares: Family Services of Montgomery County

Each month, our Community Who Cares series highlights organizations whose work strengthens families, supports individuals and helps build a more resilient community.

These spotlights recognize the care, dedication and collaboration behind services that often meet people at some of life’s most critical moments.

This month, we are proud to feature Family Services of Montgomery County, a nonprofit organization serving communities across Montgomery County. For more than 70 years, Family Services has provided essential support to children, adults and families through a wide range of prevention, education and counseling programs designed to promote stability, wellness and opportunity.

Family Services of Montgomery County offers an extensive continuum of services that support individuals throughout their lifespans. Their programs include family-based prevention and support services, early childhood and parenting education, behavioral and mental health counseling, and school-based and community-based initiatives. The organization also provides programs focused on youth development, substance abuse prevention, caregiver support and services for individuals navigating major life transitions. By addressing both immediate needs and long-term challenges, Family Services helps individuals and families build resilience and maintain healthy relationships.

A key strength of Family Services lies in its integrated, person-centered approach. Programs are designed to be accessible and responsive, with trained professionals working alongside clients to provide education, guidance and connections to additional community resources. Whether supporting a new parent, a child facing emotional challenges or a family working to overcome barriers, Family Services meets people where they are and helps them move forward with confidence.

The impact of this work is felt throughout Montgomery County. By focusing on prevention and early intervention, Family Services helps reduce crises before they occur, strengthens family systems and supports positive outcomes for both children and adults. Their long-standing partnerships with schools, healthcare providers and community organizations allow them to reach families in meaningful and effective ways.
