The Women’s Resource Center has established a free legal clinic in collaboration with participating Livingston County family law attorneys.

The purpose of the clinic is to offer women access to legal information in an empathetic environment. Participating attorneys will provide free half-hour legal consultations on a monthly rotation at either the Women’s Resource Center or their own offices. They will answer questions and give legal advice on issues such as divorce, custody, and other family-related matters.

Explore the work of Bruce Perry, Stanley Greenspan, and other child development experts.

Learn what responses have the greatest impact on your child birth to five. Create a family environment that fosters confident, caring and capable kids.
