Using Christian Principles to Build Strong Families, Support Children, and Empower Individuals

Through this mission, we provide help to at-risk youth, couples and families. The programs that IMPACT offers help strengthen family relationships, reduce abuse and neglect, and teach positive coping skills to empower at-risk youth and families to make better life choices benefiting themselves and their communities. IMPACT Family Counseling is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian counseling agency providing professional counseling services to “at-risk” youth and their families in Birmingham, Alabama since 1991. IMPACT began as a grass-roots initiative, led by community leaders, John A. Williamson and C. Molton Williams, to intervene and prevent youth from entering a life of crime. The founders became inspired during visits to prisons, because many incarcerated parents told them that they were concerned that their children were following in their footsteps. IMPACT became a United Way agency in 1999. IMPACT Family Counseling provides programs and services to all persons regardless of race, color, national origin, disability, age, sex, creed, economic status, or limited English proficiency.
