What 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." Shay Bilchik, Executive Director Child Welfare League of America "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." Susan Notkin, Director Center for Community Partnerships in Child Welfare Center for the Study of Social Policy "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…" William Waldman, Former Executive Director American Public Human Services Association "...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." David Mills, Former Executive Director National Alliance of Children's Trust and Prevention Funds "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."
