Center for Families and Relationships

Center for Families and Relationships CFAR is a nonprofit counseling center serving the needs of individuals, couples, and families.

CFAR was founded more than 20 years ago with the intent to support and empower struggling families. Today, we continue the work that began with our founder, Maryann Volk and reach a broad and diverse population. The staff at CFAR is passionate about working with families to create safety, resiliency, heal and make lifelong positive changes. If you or your family are "feeling stuck", consider making an intake appointment to meet with a therapist and learn new coping skills to have a positive influence on your life!

"For the first time in more than half a century, Philadelphia has recorded fewer than 225 homicides in a single year." CFAR's Together Through Trauma program is proud to be part of the network anti-violence programming that has helped make this possible. TTT provides trauma therapy, workshops and trainings in Philadelphia communities most heavily impacted by violence, and looks forward to continuing the process of healing and recovery after so many years of heightened violence.

The drop in homicides to 222 mirrors a national reduction in violence and follows years of sustained declines after Philadelphia’s homicides peaked during the pandemic.

Final day of our top 10 highlights of 2025! Our Together Through Trauma program provides free trauma services in neighborhoods that are the most impacted by violence, and they couldn’t do the work that they do without the amazing partner organizations in those communities. The work with Philadelphia Parks and Recreation over the past two years has been amazing, and the team has been working build and strengthen partnerships with other organizations that serve target populations to expand the programmatic reach.
