Family Centeredness
Working with a family-centered approach that values families and recognizes them as integral to the Program.
Family Strengthening
Utilizing a family strengthening approach to support families to be strong, healthy, and safe, thereby promoting their success and optimal development.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Valuing, respecting, and embracing families’ diversity, and advancing equity and inclusion.
Community Strengthening
Developing a strong and healthy community by working collaboratively with various stakeholders and supporting families’ civic engagement, leadership development, and ability to effect systems change.
Evaluation
Looking at areas of program strength, as well as areas for further development, in order to guide continuous quality improvement and achieve positive results for families.
Our FRC continues to serve a growing number of families as we stand in the gap for families in need. Visit christshaven.org/frc if you would like more information on receiving support.

You might not recognize the name Myra Brockette, but it is the name of a hero.
On August 17, 1920, an 11-year-old Myra deposited $1.06 into a bank account. Little did she know then that her deposit would one day amount to $1.5 million providing college education for young adults living at Christ’s Haven.
Myra lived a humble life and diligently made small deposits for 80 years growing her savings. She came upon Christ’s Haven while trying to donate a used musical instrument. After learning more about the organization and connecting to the mission as a child growing up in poverty unable to attend college herself, Myra made a decision. She would donate her estate to Christ’s Haven with the sole purpose of funding secondary education expenses.
What began as an simple act in 1920 resulted in generosity that would impact lives at Christ’s Haven for generations. Just like the 2021 college graduate in this photo.
Every August 17 we celebrate Myra Brockette Day and her generosity that began so many years ago!
