Our Story
A Foundation Built on Compassion
For over four decades, Family Resource Associates has been a cornerstone of mental health support in Connecticut — grounded in the belief that every family deserves access to skilled, empathetic care.
1979 — The Beginning
Raymond T. Laskowski Founds FRA
He established Family Resource Associates in Stratford, Connecticut — a practice built on clinical excellence and genuine compassion for families in need.
Decades of Growth
Building a Community of Healers
He grew the practice into a multi-clinician team dedicated to evidence-based, compassionate care — expanding services to children, adolescents, and families across Connecticut.
The Next Generation
Kathleen Myers Steps Into Leadership
His daughter Kathleen Laskowski Myers — holding a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership Psychology — became Executive Director, carrying those founding values into a new era of growth.
2021–Today
Two States, One Mission
Under Kathleen's leadership, FRA expanded into Massachusetts in 2022 — extending the legacy of trusted, family-centered mental health services across state lines.
Every family that walks through our doors carries a unique story. Our role is not to judge that story, but to help write its next chapter — one of healing, understanding, and hope.
