Our Good Beginnings "mom's retreat this coming weekend

We are having a parent's retreat for 4 of our moms in our neighborhood program this weekend at North Bend State Park. We have two cabins rented. This is being funded through the Prevent Child Abuse chapter in WV, as a Good Beginnings mini-grant; which supports innovative efforts to strengthen families and address the protective factors that prevent child abuse. The concept is that we are building leadership among some of the committed parents in our neighborhood work, so they can contribute to the "social connections" that parents have in the neighborhood. They will have some sessions on stress reduction, leadership, child discipline, and how they can assist our agency in child abuse prevention efforts. They will also have fun and get a break from their own busy lives!!! Stay tuned for a report after the weekend- we are hoping they have GREAT weather out there at the park!
