Communication is the KEY to a closer  bond, and our Strengthening Families Program will help participants open the DOOR to better talking--and listening!  

The 11-week program is conducted via weekly zoom meeting on either Tuesday or Thursday nights.

  • This testing location can test children as young as 6 months old.
  • The location offers PCR lab tests only. Learn more about the different types of COVID tests.
