Our Story
Founded in 2000 by Dr. Evelyn Chenier, the Family First Center of Lake County emerged from a deep need for community healing in response to violence and unrest. Recognizing that counseling alone was insufficient, Dr. Chenier established FFC to provide comprehensive wraparound services that address the multifaceted challenges families face, including drug abuse, crime, and violence. Inspired by personal experiences and community tragedies, FFC is dedicated to fostering resilience and support within the Lake County community.
