I’d be interested in learning what other communities are doing to support families during these stressful times. What kinds of community support exist?
ANS: It is important to realize that communities do have responsibilities to support families to do the important task of child rearing. Awareness that it is in a community’s interest to help families and children become strong is growing. To explore this idea further, use the Web sites www.togethercan.org and www.connectforkids.org Both of these initiatives have much information about current issues, collaborations within communities, and related publications.
