Greetings!

 

Welcome to our first newsletter. We look forward to sharing our most recent news, programs and useful articles and tips for your child to develop and strengthen their self-esteem, coping strategies and social skills so that they will lead positive and productive lives. We have a strong belief, based on experience, that prevention and early intervention can make a positive difference in the well-being of children and families.

 

We hope that everyone is settled into school and starting to develop those important routines and schedules that help keep our lives (and those of our children) in order from September to June. Please visit our "Helpful Articles and Links" section to learn strategies and tips for the new school year.
