Experts Say |
"It
gives me great pleasure to honor the
work of Parents Anonymous®.
Good parenting is key to the healthy
development of our children. Often, however,
the best of our parents need help to
be as effective, loving and nurturing
as possible – particularly at times
of great stress. The efforts made by
Parents Anonymous® to
keep our children safe, and their parents
a positive force in their lives, are
essential in meeting the needs of our
children, youth and families."

"In
so many communities, families and parents
feel isolated, overwhelmed, and afraid.
Parents Anonymous® has
been a true pioneer in recognizing the
power of linking parents to provide support
to one another. Parent Leaders who are
part of Parents Anonymous®'s
network offer us all important insights
about what it takes to build strong families.
We are pleased to have Parents Anonymous® as
a partner in our community child protection
efforts."

"For
the past 30 years, Parents Anonymous® has
served to strengthen families and keep
children safe. It has created a national
network of chapters that provide vital
services and resources for parents that
face the considerable challenge of caring
for children in our society today in
ways that foster safety and healthy development.
It has reduced the loneliness and isolation
of parents needing assistance and provided
solutions to those encountering problems
and stress…"

"...Parents
Anonymous® Inc. has always
had a bond with parents based on mutual
trust and understanding. I know of no
other organization more strongly rooted
in the concept of community-based services.
Your history of people receiving services
and also being decision makers in the
organization is a foundation that keeps
you in touch with real issues and solutions
that make sense to those needing help."

"We
need programs like Parents Anonymous® to
provide prevention, early intervention
and mutual support for parents who are
seeking to avoid abusive behavior. Clearly,
this program provides parents with the
understanding, encouragement and network
of support that can help break the cycle
of abuse. As an organization (Parents
Anonymous® Inc.) your
impact has been incredible over the past
30 years."
