The Gardner Family Resource Center (FRC) is a program of nonprofit community behavioral health agency Clinical & Support Options (csoinc.org).

It is open weekdays to provide free multi-cultural parenting and kid-friendly programs, mental health needs assessment, job/housing referrals, and school-focused help for families whose children range in age from birth to 18 years without any need for insurance.

Massachusetts Family Resource Centers (frcma.org) have been operating since 2015, with FRCs in each of the stateโ€™s 14 counties.
The Gardner FRC primarily serves the Greater Gardner area, but would welcome any nearby family looking for support, referrals or community.
