Meet the Family Empowerment Coach serving Johnson County! 💙

Big goals become much more manageable when you have someone beside you helping you figure out the next step.

Our Family Empowerment Coaches partner with families and SkillUP participants to set goals, identify resources, work through barriers, and build a plan for moving forward.

They celebrate the milestones—and stick around for the challenging moments, too.

Meet the Johnson County Family Empowerment Coach:
