History & Culture
The Center for Children and Families is redefining the way children in crisis are being served in communities throughout Louisiana. What began in 1999 as a tiny one-room office has now grown into a thriving, nationally recognized non-profit agency that stands as a beacon of hope for those in crisis situations. Our mission is to promote safe, healthy environments through advocacy, counseling, education, and prevention services.
Community, Respect, Integrity, Service, Teamwork, Empowerment, and Excellence are the stated core values at The Center for Children and Families. These are the key factors in the long-term success of our agency, and we believe that these core values are present in every employee and are the foundation for our philosophy, culture, and practices.
