Family Enhancement Center

Childhood is both precious and brief; child abuse shatters a childhood and its effect is damaging for a child, the family and our community. The mission of Family Enhancement Center is to create lasting solutions to prevent and heal child abuse. We strive to build strong children, strong families and support communities to create a society where children are safe, respected and valued. Child abuse robs children of their childhood—we help give it back.

The Family Enhancement Center was founded by three passionate therapists who identified a need in the community to help our most vulnerable members. We provide help to over 200 families and 600 children dealing with abuse issues in Minneapolis, St. Paul and the greater Twin Cities area.

It helps you see the possibility that things will get better.

Carolyn was my lifeline when our family first became aware of the sexual abuse and I couldn’t have done it without her. She is an absolute BLESSING.
