FROM THE HEART         NEWS FROM KIDS FIRST
NOVEMBER 2015

Greetings to our friends and supporters,       

 

Many of you have registered to attend this week's Annual Fall Conference - can't wait to see you there on Friday! Professionals will be learning how they can respond most effectively to the current family dissolution landscape and effectively prioritize the needs of children..  "Staying on the Cutting Edge: Kids First from 1988 to 2015" offers CEUs for attorneys, mental health professionals, and others working with families of divorce and separation.

 

Check out our schedule below for details on other upcoming programs, such as "Collaborative Divorce in Maine," the "Next Step Program" and our "Support Groups for Kids." We hope to see or hear from many of you soon!

 

Sincerely,

Peg Libby

Executive Director
