Parent Leadership Month

National Parent Leadership Month occurs every February to highlight parents’ roles in the success and happiness of their families. Parents are the cornerstone of child abuse prevention. When parents are met with the resources, support and community they need, they have a greater capacity to care for their children successfully, and abuse is less likely. Support and resources can come from social services, home visiting services, a sense of community and belonging, & more!

Nurture Relationships. Cultivate Growth.
