Cornerstone Foundations for Families

Cornerstone exists to help people meet life’s challenges by providing the skills, support, and hope needed for effective, fulfilling lives. 

Cornerstone is a place where people know that they matter by the way they are acknowledged, appreciated, and have their needs attended to.

We believe that hope generates action and action leads to change. We do this work because we believe everyone deserves to know that they matter. 

That’s why we call our vision “You Matter.”

We are a compassionate team who works closely with you to help you realize your goals. Our therapists and counselors are highly trained to listen and help you sort through your challenges to live a happier, calmer, and more enriching life. You’ll work with professionals in a safe, non-judgmental environment, so your experience with the therapist or counselor will be rewarding and respectful.

Our Vision

What if?
People around you do everything they can to acknowledge you. They greet you by name, shake your hand, make eye contact, maybe give you a hug.

What if?
People you encounter make it a point to show their appreciation for you and the things you do. You are thanked, complimented and encouraged.

What if?
People around you pay attention to you. They find ways to be helpful and kind. They attend to your basic needs. They ask for your opinions, your hopes and your dreams.

What if?
The same people who acknowledge, appreciate and attend to you demonstrate by their actions that they respect and accept you unconditionally.

Our History

Cornerstone Foundations for Families began as Family Service Agency of Adams County in 1947. It was through the hard work and perseverance of Fabiola Moorman and Jean Suhren that the city of Quincy and Adams County recognized the need for a social service agency. Our founders worked hard to ensure that Family Service Agency was off to a good start.  In 2002, our name changed to Cornerstone Foundation for Families.
