From Ascribe Newsfeed: February has been designated National Parent Leadership Month (NPLM) by Parents Anonymous(r) Inc., the nation's oldest child abuse prevention organization. Now in its fourth year, NPLM was created as a means of educating the public about the importance of Parent Leadership in preventing child abuse and neglect. "Parent Leadership is an essential ingredient in all effective family strengthening and family support programs," says Dr. Lisa Pion-Berlin, president and CEO of Parents Anonymous Inc. "Better outcomes for families are achieved when parents have the opportunity to use their expertise through meaningful and active roles in the planning, implementation, oversight and evaluation of programs that affect families and children.
