Family Programs

The YWCA of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County focuses on the strength of the family unit and acts as a partner to facilitate positive family growth, communication and development. Our services are provided in a manner that “meets people where they are” as to best address individual concerns and needs. Each family has unique attributes, which provide the foundation for individual planning. Team meetings, inclusive of the family, YWCA and others involved in the family’s life, are scheduled regularly to ensure our participants view their services as beneficial while continuing to be key contributors to their plan.

Our programs include:

• Parenting Classes and Support: The Strengthening Families program consists of 14 sessions focusing on parenting skills, child development, planning developmentally appropriate activities, effective communication, options for non-physical discipline, building relationships and accessing outside supports
• General Counseling:  We offer individual, couples and family counseling through the out-patient counseling center of the YWCA. A variety of therapeutic approaches are available including services for both children and adults. Services are provided on a fee-schedule.
