It takes a village to raise a child and a community to support parents and caregivers in their most important, and often challenging role. See below for programs offering free information, resources, supports, and connection opportunities to support you on your journey.
The Group Connections Project
Parents & caregivers of young children of the South Coast Region are invited to participate in our Group Connections Gatherings!
These gatherings offer opportunities to learn, grow, have fun and connect as a family, and with other members of our community.
We offer gatherings monthly and rotate between in-person opportunities in Coos & Curry Counties as well as provide sessions on zoom.
For other inquiries, email us at: groupconnections@screlhub.com or call 541-266-3909
The Group Connections Project is a cooperative service between Coos Health & Wellness, Family Support & Connections, The STEP Program, Healthy Families Oregon: South Coast, Coastal Families Relief Nursery, Pathways to Positive Parenting, South Coast Head Start & the South Coast Regional Early Learning Hub.
Parent Cafes
A chance to talk with other caregivers about the joys and challenges of parenting.
A virtual safe space where caregivers of young children can meet to obtain support & share their stories, experiences, concerns, and insights. A sense of community is built as parents engage in meaningful conversations and learn that they are not alone in the challenges they face managing their families and homes.
Every third Thursday of the month, over zoom!
