Initial work began in the 1970's when a group of concerned citizens recognized the magnitude of the problem of child abuse and developed support groups and a 24-hour hotline as a resource to local parents. This grassroots effort grew in both scope and impact as services were added based on community needs. Gradually, the agency changed from a largely volunteer effort to a professionally staffed organization with an expertise in the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect.

Recognized as a leader in the field, Family Nurturing Center now serves more than 10,000 individuals each year. With locations in Florence, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio, the agency offers a range of quality, innovative and effective child abuse education, prevention and treatment programs.

Current services include: individual, family and group counseling services for victims of child abuse and their non-offending family members; family-based parenting classes and individual parent coaching sessions; school-based child abuse education and prevention services; adult-based child sexual abuse education and prevention services; parenting time visitation services; and, community education and training services.

The organization is supported through contracts and grants from various government agencies, United Way, contributions from individuals and foundations, special fundraising events, in-kind contributions and program service fees.
