Harbor Family Resource Centers

Overview

Harbor Regional Center’s Family Resource Centers serves individuals, families, friends, service providers, students, HRC semployees, other professionals, and interested parties in the South Bay, Lakewood, Bellflower, Norwalk, Long Beach, and the Beach Cities areas of Los Angeles County. Our mission is to provide an access point within the regional center for support, information, and choice through multi-media information and resources, education, 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.

Support Through Education and Training

HRC offers informative presentations and training groups on a wide range of topics. Take a look at our calendar for upcoming trainings. Depending upon your child’s age and needs, your HRC Service Coordinator may also refer you to parent education group 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 Harbor Family Resource Centers, 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.
