of healthy living ,” shared Executive Director , Susan Griffin , who is also the founder of the organization , now in its 34th year of service to families throughout San Diego County . “ Chronic stress and trauma affect all of who we are as humans so our approach to healing must be comprehensive as well .”

Through their counseling and life skills programs , Hannah ’ s Family Center helps families navigate unexpected loss , change , and trauma . Family
Susan Griffin challenges include complex family breakups ; domestic violence along the continuum of interpersonal power and control ; substance abuse , and addiction ; and mental and emotional health concerns .
Hannah ’ s Family Center ’ s health and wellness programs are focused on prevention and early intervention to best reach families before the vital bonds and connections become so frayed that the parents may need to separate in order to achieve stability , health , and the ability to move forward in a
positive way for all family members . These services are made possible in part by grants from The San Diego Foundation , Nordson Foundation , The Conrad Prebys Foundation , and Price Philanthropies .
Griffin says that she is more passionate today about the work of the Center than when she began , “ When families come apart , children suffer . So does every person in the life of that child who loves them . For over 3 decades , we have stepped in to heal the children , help the parents find peaceful resolutions to their family conflicts , and restore hope for every single member of the families we serve . My mission now is to ensure that Hannah ’ s Family Center is here for another three decades of service .”
