About Us

Families First in Cabarrus County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency that nurtures children, empowers parents, and strengthens families.

Spencer and Aurora Swain co-founded Families First in 2014.

THE MODEL IS SIMPLE

Working with the whole family works - no matter the circumstances. Together, with the support and urging of community leaders, they identified a facility, secured funding and now employ nearly 15 professionals serving hundreds of families in their homes and the center. The center is increasingly becoming a home away from home for so many families. Through innovative practices and drawing on the strengths of families and their children, Families First is building stronger foundations in fractured parts of the community.

We are a national affiliate providing ParentChild+ services and a home visiting program for at risk children and families.  We also support Celebrating Families, a 16-week trauma-informed program where families and their children recover together from the affects of substance abuse and addicted homes.

Our beginnings

Families, including babies, are experiencing more and more stress. Over the last few decades the family structure has changed dramatically with more moms working and going to back to school, divorces, homes affected by addiction and mental health, and poverty. Spencer Swain and his wife, Aurora, co-founded Families First in 2014 as a response to these overwhelming needs, including serving a large demographic of under-served immigrant families and their children. The organization decided to provide this help, starting with parents and early childhood education utilizing evidenced-based programs.

Through innovative practices and drawing on the strengths of families and their children, Families First is building stronger foundations in fractured parts of the community.
Community volunteers make a huge difference in the lives of the families we serve.
