Raising children is important work and sometimes it presents unique challenges! Ellison Center's Caregiver Support Program helps families of young children build their "caregiving toolkit" through individualized support for each family. Caregivers are adults currently providing primary care for a young child.

This is not a parent support group! You choose the goals and priorities that you would like assistance with while working one-on-one with a member of our team.

Culturally responsive services are available for English, Spanish, and Somali speaking families.

Participating families will receive up to seven visits. This Caregiver Support Program is FREE to families thanks to grant funding.

Families living in the central Minnesota area with a child age 8 or younger are eligible to participate in the Caregiver Support Program at no cost. 

Visits are 45-50 minutes long and can occur in our office, virtually, or your home (for families living in the St. Cloud metro area).Supporting you in your caregiving role is the primary focus of these visits. Visits will be with an Ellison Center team member and adult caregivers. Children may participate in Caregiver Support visits when it is determined helpful in meeting the caregiver's goals.
