FCFC
has helped to establish Family Resource Centers in 3 regions
of Miami, with part-time coordinators trained to deliver two
parenting skills curriculums: “Dare to be You”
and “Mommy & Me”
which focus on children ages 0-5. Additionally, the children
receive medical screenings.
A
Resource Library staffed by a volunteer Parent Council, provides
help, as well. Parents & staff also receive training to
help them understand how to work with children with special
needs or disabilities.
Later
in the program, one countywide large-group training will be
held for Sunday School teachers and other clergy on Children
with Disabilities.
