St. Joseph
Family Connections
Circle of Parents© provides a friendly, supportive environment led by parents and other caregivers. It’s a place where anyone in a parenting role can openly discuss the successes and challenges of raising children and where caregivers can find and share support. The St. Joseph Youth Alliance offers Circle of Parents© groups for low-income families, families that have used the local crisis care center, grandparents raising grandchildren, and minority communities, including a Hispanic group. The St. Joseph Youth Alliance is working with community centers, the Noyes Home for Children, the Northwest Area Agency on Aging and the YWCA to ensure that the groups are accessible.
