Remember the groups are free there are no income, insurance or diagnosis qualifications required. The groups are for families who are experiencing the challenges of bringing up children with emotional and/or mental health challenges.  Parents may self refer by contacting me directly by text, telephone or email (preferred). I will be sending out reminders and details before each group.  Also, I am actually going on vacation for 2 weeks so I will be responding to referrals and RSVP when I return. Enjoy the rest of the summer!

Edaville Railroad- email for discount code

 

 

I am sorry but due to past difficulties, I can no accept checks from anyone other than DCF employees.  I also can not accept post dated checks etc. It is too difficult to keep track of and someone I always end up short L  If you are buying more than one park at a time, please write separate checks for each park.  It is easier for me to separate by park and deposit as needed.

There is now a free statewide call-in line for caregivers of children struggling with substance use.  The service is the result of a collaboration between The Grayken Center for Addiction at Boston Medical Center and the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids, a national non-profit.  

The calls are answered by trained parent support specialists, many of whom are parents themselves.  They are available for consultation by calling 844-319-5999, or by texting HOPEMA to 55753.

 

Please help to spread the word about this free service.
