Because our mission is to help build a stronger and healthier community by helping people achieve optimal health and well-being, we like to recognize other like-minded organizations in San Diego. Last week, we hosted the volunteer board of directors of the Parent Connection for all that they do to help empower parents and strengthen our community through family initiatives.
A non-profit parenting support group sponsored by Scripps Health, the Parent Connection brings San Diego families together to provide support, share experiences and information, enjoy social activities and build lasting relationships.
Since 1980 the Parent Connection, formerly known as Las Madres, has guided both first-time and seasoned parents through the maze of parenthood. More than 3,000 San Diego families belong to this organization, which includes parents in their 20s, 30s and 40s, married couples, singles, working parents and stay-at-home parents. Families with newborns, young children and children in their teens all find support through the Parent Connection.
The volunteer board of directors donates their time and effort to help provide the best possible programs to meet parents’ needs. Their programs are run by medical experts and marriage and family professionals who help guide members through the challenges of parenting whether it is getting your baby to sleep through the night, adjusting to parenthood, potty training or talking to your child about puberty.
Parent Connection hosts annual special events to help members socialize with other members. And their membership benefits include group discounts to California theme parks and attractions, which more than cover the cost of annual membership.
