  THE TOBY CENTER-FOR FAMILIES IN TRANSITION

The Toby Center’s Mission: To maximize child outcomes by strengthening parent and child relationships when parents separate. This is accomplished through a replicable program of wraparound services including family mediation and parent coordination, supervised visitation, and therapeutic interventions.
Join Thousands of Others! The Toby Center is a nonprofit organization whose client parents just haven’t enough money to see their children for appropriate visitation services. Tragically, the State of Florida does not prioritize these children and makes no money available to help these families. Traditionally funders who claim they appreciate our work, but sadly, are not interested in funding these vital services.
