At Unity Parenting and Counseling, we are passionate about providing at risk young people and struggling families with the stability and support structure they need to live more meaningful lives. From its inception in 1993, Unity has been all about protecting and supporting the most vulnerable groups within the community - those who are homeless or in unstable housing situations, abused and neglected children in foster care and their parents including those with physical and mental health challenges.
We are a social service agency invested in promoting the development of healthier and stronger family units, also resulting in cultivating more positive communities. Unity Parenting and Counseling is invested in making life better, meaningful and rewarding for young people and families from disadvantaged backgrounds. We empower and equip them with the resources and knowledge that can enable them to transform their lives so that they can add value to themselves and positively impact their local communities.
