The event will include workshops with child care experts to discuss family support systems, violence and substance abuse, media messages, positive interaction with young children and much more. Participants will take an active part in the workshops and create community action steps that will be presented during the luncheon. Participants can expect lively facilitators and an active exchange of ideas from family and child experts, community leaders and parents. First hope that the event will also help promote and create a broader awareness of a need for a pediatric center in the South Norfolk area of the city. First is free and open to the public.
Children are also welcome.
