About DURHAM FAMILY COURT CLINIC
Why we do what we do:
In everything we do, DFCC is all about safe, hopeful, healthy communities.
For nearly 40 years, DFCC is known for going above and beyond for young people and families who are facing barriers to achieve their own unique success, as well as being a voice within the community and beyond for these young people to advocate for systems change.
How do we do what we do:
The way we do what we do is by delivering service excellence every day; building a culture of collaboration innovation and continuous improvement; being a great place to be for everyone; and, being recognized as a vibrant and progressive organization.
What do we do:
Often our young people and their families are isolated and voiceless, with little hope or belief that positive change is possible, so we listen to them; don’t give up on them when the going gets tough; work with them to lay the necessary building blocks to enhance their health and well-being; give them a voice to help break down barriers; and, most importantly we help them find hope and the belief in a better future.
DFCC Programs and Services
