The Goshen Family Resource Center
The vision of Goshen Therapeutic Services found a physical home in the Goshen Family Resource Center this year. This center serves as a hub for resources, counseling, and family support services, while addressing root causes such as trauma, mental health struggles, addiction, and economic and social hardships. With funding support from ARPA distributed through Cherokee County, Goshen embarked on a mission to complete the purchase and renovation of this facility, ensuring accessibility to all families regardless of income.
At the Goshen Family Resource Center, we recognize that communities are stronger when families are thriving. Through our Resource Center, we provide much needed access to supportive and strengths-based services and resources that promote health and well-being in a warm, safe, and welcoming environment for all. We are committed to providing opportunities for all families to grow and build resiliency.
