“Strong communities lead to strong families.”
– Craig Jacques, parent
Parents and caregivers are the most important people in a child’s life. You nurture, guide, inspire and protect. It’s a truly beautiful thing. While it can be extremely overwhelming, you are not alone. The “For Parents” section provides caregivers and parents tips, tools, resources and support. We also offer regular workshops, trainings and webinars (web trainings). To get connected, contact our Family Outreach Coordinator, Deb Witkus at 802-463-9927, ext. 212.
