Harbor Regional Center’s Family Resource Center serves clients,
families, friends, service providers, students, HRC staff, other
professionals, and interested parties in the South Bay, Lakewood,
Bellflower, Norwalk, Long Beach, and the Beach Cities areas. Our
mission is to provide a focal point within the Regional Center
for Support, Information, and Choice through multi-media
information and resources, educations/training materials and
opportunities, and parent-to-parent support groups and
activities.
Support Through Information
Our library houses more than 6,100 books, pamphlets, journals,
audio-visual media materials, and HRC publications about services
and supports, and how to access them.
Support Through Education and Training
HRC offers informative presentations and training groups on a
range of topics. Watch our calendar for upcoming trainings.
Depending upon your child’s age and needs, your HRC Service
Coordinator may also refer you to parent education groups to
help you support your child’s development in early childhood
development, speech and language, adaptive daily living skills,
and positive behaviors.
Support Through People
HRC offers you several ways to connect with other parents and
siblings of people with developmental disabilities. Through the
HRC Family Resource Center, you can find parent support groups,
or talk one-on-one with parent mentors. Sibling Clubs are offered
for children ages 6-16 who have a brother or sister with a
developmental disability. Our Together From the Start program for
families of infants and toddlers features classes such as Infant
Massage, and Mommy/Daddy and Me activities, and even a Learning
Cafe to get together, have a cup of coffee, and relax with fellow
parents. Check the Calendar for days and times for these fun and
educational sessions.
