    A new website designed to help families and service providers

    By Tobi Kibel Piatek | April 24, 2009

    I found this excellent and useful resource in the Oregonian on April 23. Since it was only in the local Southwest Metro section, I am hoping this information will reach a broader audience. I think this is a valuable addition to the Making Connections resource list.

    TIP: Teachers can direct parents to this site.

    The Family Education and Support Network  has launched a new website,  designed to serve as a “one-stop parenting resource for parents and service providers in Clackamas County and surrounding areas.

    The site links parents  with programs and resources on parenting advice, and connects them with other parents and caregivers. It also gives organizations that provide such services a way to reach parents.

    It features a searchable directory of resources on parent education, health care, emergency services and more. Listings can be searched by city, child’s age group and by language, including English and six others.

    The network encourages organizations that provide services to post their information to the directory. In addition, the site features a calendar of up-to-date information on classes, play groups and other events for parents and providers. Organizations can submit events to the online calendar.

    Topics: RESOURCES, Resources for Mentor, Resources for Teacher |
