The Matilda H. Theiss Health and Child Development Center is dedicated to providing support services to parents of young children, ages birth 7 years. The purpose of the parent support groups is to offer parents of young children a safe and comfortable place to discuss issues, fears or concerns that they may have about child rearing. Healthy child development and parent-child interaction skills are addressed.
Parents offer support to one another and share child rearing experiences.
The groups are free and all parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents and foster parents of young children are welcomed. Meetings are held once a week for one hour. We ask that people participate for at least five weeks so that a full range of issues can be addressed adequately. There are currently three parent groups. The groups are held at the Matilda Theiss Health and Child Development Center.
