DPSN is Seeking Board Members
At DPSN, we believe that through more effective parenting, children and youth will be all that they can be. They will develop emotional and physical well-being. They will be nurtured to believe in themselves, will be better able to handle life's choices, and will make healthy choices.
We promote parenting skills that are based on understanding and working with children's behavior.
Together DPSN provides Dufferin parents with:
- general parenting information
- referral to community resources that support families
- a wide range of workshops for anyone in a parenting role (parents, caregivers, grandparents and teachers)
- community presentations by leading parenting experts on topics of interest to Dufferin area families
- skill building for facilitators and community leaders
Dufferin Parent Support Network (DPSN) is seeking a volunteer who shares our philosophy of positive parenting to join our Board of Directors. For more information, visit: http://www.dpsn.ca/Volunteer.html.
