BBFA Needs Your Help!
BBFA, like many nonprofit organizations in this difficult economy, needs your help! Our funds are critically low and we are going to be unable to continue programming without community support!
We hope that you will consider supporting BBFA and enable us to continue to provide much need parent education and prevention programming (most of which is offered free of charge) to our community.
Every little bit helps!
Thank you for your support of BBFA! |

Setting Healthy Boundaries for our Children
 Most of us have been taught not to jump or dive into an empty swimming pool. Most of us have learned that we should not go into other's yards without permission. Don't go over the line; follow the rules. How do we learn boundaries? Are they necessary and important? If so, how do we instill them in our children? Lisa Beauvais, MA, LPC, NCC |
