UACF LAUNCHES A PARENT PARTNER COALITION

The objective of the Parent Partner Coalition is to promote, support, and recognize the efforts of California’s Parent Partners who enhance the services provided to parents and caregivers of children and youth. The Coalition will promote awareness of the philosophy, value and inclusion of Parent Partners through networking and training. It costs nothing to join and there are no time commitments. Once you become a member, however, you will join a powerful force of family members across the state. UACF will send you periodic updates and information regarding upcoming networking and training opportunities in your region of the state. If you have any questions, please contact-Diane Shively dshively@uacf4hope.org
