History & Impact

The Box Elder Family Support Center is a vital nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening families and preventing child abuse and family conflict throughout Box Elder County, Utah. Since opening our doors in Brigham City in 1995, we’ve been committed to providing compassionate, accessible support that helps families thrive now and for the future. Our mission—“Strengthening Families Now and For the Future”—guides every service we offer, grounded in the belief that healthy, supported families build resilient communities.

At the heart of our work is our Crisis & Respite Nursery, available 24/7 to provide a safe, nurturing environment for children ages 0–11 during emergencies, family stress, or simply when caregivers need a break. Licensed by the Utah Department of Human Services, our nursery offers activities, meals, and trained staff who care for children while parents access other support or address urgent needs.

We also offer evidence-based classes such as parenting education and workshops.

All services at the Box Elder Family Support Center are free and available to families of all backgrounds, cultures, and income levels. Whether you’re navigating a crisis, building parenting skills, or strengthening family bonds, our Center is here to walk alongside you with dignity, respect, and unwavering support.
