The Thriving Families Working Group helps give families the knowledge and resources they need to nurture their children. Attention is placed on the family’s critical role in their child’s development.
We seek to ensure that all families possess:
- Parental resilience
- Social connections
- Knowledge of parent and child development: Early Childhood Mental Well-Being Resource
- Concrete support in times of need
- Socially and emotionally competent children
- Nurturing relationships and strong attachment to their children
It's wonderful to hear about initiatives like Minus 9 to 5 that are dedicated to supporting families and promoting early childhood development. Family engagement and community support play crucial roles in ensuring the well-being and proper development of young children. Initiatives like these not only provide resources but also create a sense of community and support for families in the Hampton Roads area.
