Connections, a Center for Healthy Families was established in 1999 as the Children’s Advocacy Center of Gray’s Harbor

We changed our name in 2017 to better represent what we do and where we serve.  We began with the single-minded goal of assisting child victims of abuse or neglect. While this work is still a cornerstone of what we do, we have grown to include other programs that go beyond that work. Our broader goals now encompass efforts to ensure both children and their families can thrive as safe, secure, and healthy.

Our Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) serves children and families in Grays Harbor County.

Our Parent Child Assistance Program (PCAP) provides services to all of Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties.

Our Family Time Visitation Program (FT) has the flexibility to offer family visitation to both of these counties and beyond to also include Mason, Lewis, Thurston, and Clark counties.

Beyond the direct services we deliver, there are over-arching results that come from the collective work of Connections, a Center for Healthy Families. The results we see are the cohesive elements of family preservation and abuse prevention. Each program touches on these two desired outcomes in some way. We remain committed to our Mission and Vision statements:

Our Mission is to cultivate healthy families, safeguard children, and connecting the community to services.

Our Vision is that all children and families are safe, healthy, and flourishing.
