Grateful for Eastern Bank Foundation’s continued generous support with a recent grant of $5K, Parents Forum is happy to announce a new tagline: A Lifeline & An Anchor. “Our work with individuals offers a lifeline to parents and we see our program serving as an anchor for communities,” founder Eve Sullivan said recently. With partners in the US and abroad, and consultative status with the UN’s Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), Parents Forum is poised for significant growth.
The Pew Charitable Research Center, in its January 2023 “Parenting in America Today” study, reports that mental health concerns top the list of worries for parents and most say being a parent is harder than they expected. Let’s respond by making parenting education and support more widely available, accessible, affordable and attractive.
From February 14th to March 17th Parents Forum will hold its annual fundraiser “Love and Luck” on the MightyCause platform and have posted a project on Benevity to engage support from businesses and other nonprofit. Volunteers from the Cambridge (Mass.) Volunteer Clearinghouse have been working with the program founder to review and revise the workshop curriculum which will re-launch May 15, International Day of Families. Volunteer Javiera Garcia-Meneses contributed the lead article to the January newsletter, Voices of Parents Forum.
Educators, mental health counselors, medical practice managers, human resources directors and others who engage and serve parents are invited to inquire about licensing Parents Forum curriculum in the coming year.
