Parenting Tips

One of the world’s toughest jobs is being a parent.

• Are your children in a safe place?

• Could you and the children benefit from a change of scene?
• Can you take the children outside, do an activity with them, or surprise them (and maybe yourself, too) by finding the humor in the situation?

• Call 911 if you and/or your children are in immediate danger.
• Call a stress line, therapist, or other agency for support.
• Call the Respite Center.
• Even if we can’t get your children in immediately, we can listen. We will lend a sympathetic ear for as long as it takes you to be back in control.
• Know that we will get your children in as soon as possible so that you have some relief now or some relief to look forward to.
