Guiding Principles
- We value, embrace, and respect the diversity and uniqueness of everyone and all families.
- We believe informed and effective parenting is a key factor in alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use prevention, as well as child abuse and neglect prevention.
- We believe that everyone deserves access to the knowledge and tools necessary to provide and foster a nurturing and healthy environment for children.
- We value collaboration and the strength that comes from sharing experiences and resources among parents/caregivers, families, professionals, and communities.
- We believe in the importance of active education of state and local leadership to support and build strong families, communities, and resilient children.
March is Parenting Awareness Month
March is the month we celebrate and focus on the foundation of society: parenting! During this time, we raise awareness about the essential role parents play in shaping the well-being of individuals and communities. By fostering awareness, education, and support, Parenting Awareness Month contributes to the overarching goal of cultivating environments that nurture the physical, emotional, and social development of children. Stay tuned for more information regarding activities and events scheduled for Parenting Awareness Month!
