About Us
Our Story
At Facing Giants, a family resource center, we believe in the strength of community, the power of resilience, and the importance of safe, supportive spaces. Our mission is to walk alongside families, children, and community providers as they navigate life's challenges — offering hope, encouragement, and meaningful connection.
Our Mission & Vision
Mission
To create a welcoming, trauma-informed environment where families and individuals can grow, heal, and thrive through connection, education, and play.
Vision
A resilient, connected community where every family has access to the resources and relationships they need to overcome challenges and reach their fullest potential.
The "Facing Giants" Concept
When life becomes heavy and uncertain, it’s easy to feel isolated and stuck. At Facing Giants, we’re here to remind you that you don’t have to face it alone.
Our model centers on safety and space – creating environments where healing begins not through pressure, but through steady presence, trusted connection and support that empowers.
We are here to be that support – offering families safe spaces, encouragement and pathways to growth.
Why Safe, Supportive Environments Matter
Research shows that healing and growth are accelerated in environments where individuals feel physically safe, emotionally supported, and respected. Our spaces are thoughtfully designed to:
-
Foster emotional regulation and resilience
-
Promote creativity, curiosity, and connection
-
Empower parents and children through relational play and skill-building
-
Encourage community providers to collaborate and innovate in a supportive setting
Safety isn’t just a feeling — it’s the foundation of transformation.
