Community Resource Navigation & Family Support
At Youth & Family Guidance Center, we believe no one should have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Our Resource Navigation Program connects individuals and families with trusted services across St. Lucie County—ranging from healthcare and mental health to housing, food assistance, parenting support, and more.
​
Through partnerships with local nonprofits, churches, and government agencies, our team helps you identify what services you qualify for, walks you through complex paperwork, and advocates for your family every step of the way.
Whether you’re raising children, caring for a grandchild, or simply need help finding the right support, we’re here to guide you—compassionately and confidentially.
