About Us
Whether you are looking for face-to-face guidance, a concrete idea to implement in your home or just an inspirational story to learn from, Family Guiding has it. We increase the amount of peace and joy in your life by guiding your self-growth and your interactions with family and community members. Our non-judgmental and fresh perspective supports you in being comfortable in uncomfortable feelings and empowers you to make the changes you need.
Our Mission:
Family Guiding is an organization devoted to supporting individuals in growing toward their highest potential. Our organization believes that every family is unique, each with its own culture and needs; therefore, we take a holistic approach to guidance, offering you wisdom in many accessible forms. We are dedicating to translating empirical research into everyday tools and strategies that your family can use. We are strongly committed to raising social consciousness and bridging the gaps within and between communities. By your family receiving guidance from our organization, we are able to share resources to help less fortunate families grow stronger.

Monthly Compass The monthly compass is a practical tool or skill to help you on your journey through life. Anytime you are feeling lost trying to help your family grow, the monthly compass will give you a new direction.
Cause We believe that helping others is good for the spirit. Dr. Cole, founder of the Create A Path program, shares real-life instances of helping troubled adolescents and families, while providing examples to guide adolescents in your family and community.
Parenting You’re not in this alone! Our parent guides share their experiences – the good, the bad and the ugly – and offer their insights and learning about raising a family. Each month we offer an article from the perspective of a mother and a father.
Education Sometimes guiding your children’s education can get overwhelming. Our resident teacher shares practical examples of learning in action. These education tips are great for teachers, parents and anyone looking to support a child in the learning process.
Nutrition Guiding your family to be physically healthy is easier than you might think. Our resident nutritionist shifts the focus of nutrition to how we eat rather than fixating on “good” or “bad” foods.
Psychology Ever wonder why your child, or spouse or friend acts a certain way? Our psychologist shares examples that address the social, emotional and behavioral needs of children, adolescents and families.
Arts: Creativity is good and raising a family should be fun too! Each month, our featured artist shares an idea, a project or just a different perspective to guide your family in your creative efforts.
