Our Vision

A world where every child thrives in a safe and nurturing family.

 

Parenting is one of life’s hardest jobs. It’s also the most important job you will ever have. The great news is that you don’t have to parent alone. At Iris Family Support Center, we are ready to walk with you through each step of your parenting journey.

Whether you are debating the merits of social media for your teenager, have just gotten a positive pregnancy test, or are navigating the weight of a sudden job change, we’ve got you. Our experienced staff members are waiting to support families through struggles big and small as they draw from the wisdom of evidence-based practices and time-tested experience.

We don’t believe anyone is meant to figure out life alone, not even nonprofit organizations like us. This is why we are so committed to partnership throughout each part of our organization. Not only do our staff members partner with each family who comes through our doors to understand their goals and dreams, Iris partners with nonprofits, medical centers, and government agencies throughout our service area to reach families right where they are and provide a seamless connection to resources, support, and expert advice.

As a result of this focus on accessibility and partnership, we protect children, strengthen families, educate the community and ensure every child has a safe and permanent home.

 

1 in 4 Hoosiers is a Child. Our vision is a better future for each one.

Iris Family Support Center works to provide that future through direct support, mental health support, parenting classes, and visitation services.
