The names on our ID badges say Northern Rivers, Parsons or Northeast, but that’s not who we work for. All of us, 1,225 strong, work for you. Whether you’re a child in trouble, a parent in need or a member of the community, we are united in our passion, our commitment and our vow: We live and work every day and every night to keep helping you make this world a better place. OUR FAMily he average person on the street would probably agree with the sentiment that “every child deserves a chance.” Well, we’re Tnot the average person on the street. We hold ourselves to a higher standard. And we believe that the children and families of our cities and towns deserve a whole lot more than just “a chance.” We believe that each child and each family deserves every chance at health, happiness, safety and stability. Childhood is such a precious gift, and it represents limitless potential. So why is it that children of abuse, neglect and poverty become objects of mistrust, fear and even scorn by so many members of society? We could tell you at length about how Northern Rivers Family Services represents a new way to help children and families, how we connect them more efficiently and effectively with the programs and services they need.
