Parent Support Outreach Program

Page Content

Parenting can be a demanding job, especially for parents with young children. If you're a parent with a child under age 10 and need support, help may be available.

We offer short-term assistance and can connect parent and guardians to a wide variety of community resources. Participation is voluntary. Getting some help — even for a short period of time can make a big difference. We focus on a family's strengths and needs. This is about working with parents who want to do what's best for their kids.
