Welcome Sarah Maguire!
Good afternoon friends and partners,
 
I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new Executive Director of TLC Family Resource Center! Most recently, I was Executive Director of the Division of Access and Community Engagement at the Community College of Philadelphia which houses several programs and support services. Those programs include adult education, supportive housing for housing insecure students, and case management and wrap around services for students receiving state benefits. I have witnessed both personally and professionally the profound impact that one person can have on an individual, family and community. In my short time at TLC, I have already seen this impact on the community members seeking support within our walls. The compassion here is palpable and the immense expertise of the staff has already proven an invaluable resource. Frankly, I am honored to be a part of this team.

Please reach out or come introduce yourself – I look forward to working with each of you to support the mission and goals of TLC and our families! 

Warmest regards, 
Sarah Maguire 
Tonight at TLC Recovery Programs!
Women's History Month
March is Women's History Month! TLC has been serving women in our community for over 30 years. Our center provides a supportive network where moms can connect, share experiences, and gain valuable insights into effective parenting and self-care. Workshops and educational sessions are tailored to address the unique challenges faced by women, equipping them with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate various aspects of life.

Together, let's honor the achievements of women past and present by investing in a future where every woman has the opportunity to thrive. Join us in making a difference this Women's History Month. Donate today and be a catalyst for change. 
Upcoming Events
Please join us TODAY at the TLC Recovery Center, 62 Pleasant Street for our Shamrock Shenanigans event. All are welcome to this substance free and family friendly event to celebrate St Patrick's Day in a safe and fun environment. The event will include a traditional Corned Beef Dinner, BINGO, prizes and more. The TLC Recovery programs continue to offer a wide variety of classes, support groups, and more, all are listed on our website at the link below.
The Family Support team worked with some of our parents and hosted a "baby wearing" class. We had several caregivers attend and learn how to use and become comfortable with the wide variety of carriers available. The group all left feeling confident with wearing babies in different ways!

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and TLC has several activities scheduled. April 5th is Wear Blue Day, wear your favorite blue outfit to help us share the message that by strengthening families, we can create nurturing environments for children that PREVENT! Fridays throughout April we are hosting a virtual coffee hour with Melony, just email melony@tlcfamilyrc.org to sign up.
Our bowling event during February break was very successful with 27 kids in attendance. Programs like these help support youth and families by keeping kids connected to their peers and in a healthy and fun environment. These programs are always free making them accessible to all youth. We plan on hosting similar programs during April break so stay tuned!

On March 6, our Youth Programs team had the great opportunity to present the YRBS (Youth Risk Behavior Survey) data to the Claremont School Board along with Youth CAN and Turning Points Network. "This was an important collaboration as we looked at this data to create the presentation and then present that information to the board. We hope this information helps to guide policies at the schools as well as inform the board as to the function of each of the agencies," Lisa Devalk, Youth Program Coordinator.
