Parent Leadership Month – February 2023
Parents Anonymous, Inc. established National Parent Leadership Month in February to recognize the important role parents play in their communities. Parent leaders represent the “parent voice” and are strong advocates for all families in their community. They provide input into family support program and community decisions and serve as role models and resources for other parents; thereby enhancing factors proven to prevent abuse and neglect. Empowering parents to take leadership roles in their communities not only strengthens the individual parent and his or her family, it also improves outcomes for all children.
We invite you to join us in recognizing Parent Leadership Month! Please fill out the form below to download the Parent Leadership Month 2023 Toolkit and assets. After clicking the “Download the Toolkit” button the zip file should automatically start to download. You may need to enable pop-ups if the zip file does not download automatically.
