Happy Spring! The grass is greening up and the sun is shining! The first part of the year I co-facilitated Keep Connected for parent/caregivers and their middle school youth via zoom and Powerful Tools for Caregivers via zoom. It is so nice to be able to offer classes and events through zoom as it gives us a chance to connect with participants across the state. I also offered Coffee Talks with Caregivers in Williston, Crosby and Watford City. This is a chance for community members to visit with each other to discuss community needs and resources that may assist with the needs. I am offering a virtual Coffee with Caregivers on May 14th at 12:00 CT.

April is Prevent Child Abuse month. We have many events and classes going on across the state. We have local events in Watford City, Crosby and Williston. There are many virtual events happening also. Springtime brings community events! Look for our table, we always have resources and information for families. Please watch for flyers and posts on our Parent & Family Resource Center- NDSU Extension-Region 1 Facebook page.

As always, please check our website: https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension/extension-topics/family for upcoming classes and events across the state.
