Manchester – My Voice Matters
June 6, 2018 @ 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM
FreeMy voice matters because…
It’s my town.
It’s my job.
It’s my family’s health.
It’s my child’s education.
When family members act as advocates, their children do better. Educators, physicians, employers, and elected leaders want the best for you and your family. They count on you to let them know what would be helpful.
“Deciding to be an active advocate for your child can seem hard,” said Julie Day, Strengthening Families Director at New Hampshire Children’s Trust, “but we know just how much parent voices matter and how easy advocating can be.”
Participants will learn why their voice matters and how to advocate for children: at doctor’s appointments, at parent teacher conferences, at your job, at town meetings, at school board meetings, by voting, by contacting your state representative and more. Open to families, professionals, and all community members. FREE DINNER!
