Together, we`re building a community where survivors are supported, families can heal, and hope continues to grow. 🎗️👟
Transforming lives begins with compassion, hope, and the belief that every person deserves the opportunity to thrive, and Nikki Buckstead sees that impact every day at Child & Family Center.
Since becoming CEO in 2022, Nikki has been inspired by the heart of Child & Family Center and the life-changing work happening across its programs. In this special anniversary reflection, she shares how stories of children, teens, and families overcoming challenges remind her of the organization`s lasting impact. From youth returning to treatment after a crisis to former clients reaching major life milestones years later, Nikki reflects on how Child & Family Center helps change not only individual lives, but the future of entire families and generations to come.
As Child & Family Center celebrates 50 years of service, we invite you to be part of this milestone evening on September 17. Together, we`ll honor the legacy, resilience, and community support that have helped children and families find hope, healing, and brighter futures for five decades.
🎟️Anniversary tickets are just $50. Click on the link in our bio or visit https://www.childfamilycenter.org/child-family-center-50th-anniversary/.

Strong communities are built when schools, families, and support services work together to help children succeed, and Marc Winger has long been a champion of that partnership.
Throughout his distinguished career in education, Marc served local students and families as an administrator in both the Sulphur Springs and Newhall School Districts. His connection to Child & Family Center began in the 1980s when he served on a committee and later on the Center`s Foundation Board. After retiring from the Newhall School District in 2015, he joined the Board of Directors and later served as Board President. In this special anniversary reflection, Marc shares how hearing client success stories reinforced the important connection between mental health, family well-being, and student success. He also recognizes the dedication of Child & Family Center`s staff and leadership in helping children and families thrive.
Join us on September 17 as we celebrate 50 years of Child & Family Center, honoring the people, stories, and partnerships that have shaped our journey.
