Family Resource Center for Student Parents opens at California State University Long Beach

The Family Resource Center (FRC) is a student training/internship site for Child Development and Family Studies (CDFS) students who desire to gain experience in family services and parent education. As a byproduct of this student training, the FRC will serve an emerging population of important students on college campuses: students with dependents. This is the first of its kind in the CSU system.  One major program objective is to improve sense of belonging, well-being, and persistence among students with dependents in the areas of child development, parenting, resiliency, and campus resources. Services Offered for Students with Dependents include: Workshops, Clothing and Toy Exchange, Baby Supplies, Parent Support Group, Monthly playgroups, Community events, Guide to campus and community resources, and support.
