The Upper Room, a Family Resource Center in Derry is preparing to celebrate strong families and thriving 

children in the month as April represents Child Abuse Prevention month. As one of the 18 Family 

Resource Centers in New Hampshire, the center will offer programs and resources that align with family 

strengthening work. The Upper Room offers prevention and early intervention services and programs that 

assist children, youth and families in gaining the knowledge and accessing the services and resources 

needed for their individual families.    

“We will kick off the month with youth and family programming, including a course on Co-Parenting called 

Crossroads being held Saturday April 5 from 9 – 2.  This course looks at the impact that long-term high

level conflict can have on children when their parents separate or get divorced. As a family resource 

center offering ideas to prevent further harm, or stress to a child is important for us to share” States 

Brenda Guggisberg. There are many programs for parents and caretakers, teens and families. Visit our

The Upper Room Family Resource Center is excited to announce its seeking requests for proposal from local contractors to update some of it’s building functions.    Creating a reception area, that will serve as a single point of entry, along with storage options for its pantry is an important part of 2025 for the agency.    Interested businesses can reach out to receive the Request for Proposal form and set up a visit with the agency to explore the identified projects.   

“A recent feasibility study has helped The Upper Room identify space priorities for it’s building to help programs and staff have the space needed, with efficiencies.    This examination has provided the agency with both small and large ideas for the short term and long term futures” states Brenda Guggisberg agency Executive Director.
