During the current pandemic, Building Healthy Families has created a digital version of much of what we share at BrightStart For Families. This Spring, beginning in mid-March, we plan to offer an 8-week BrightStart for Parents as a personal, on-demand learning experience with a discussion group.
If you are a parent, grandparent or caregiver of a young child, from birth to 4 years old or are expecting a child, you are eligible. Participation will involve watching the videos for each session topic when it's convenient for you and then participating in a weekly 60-minute discusion group facilitated by Building Healthy Families staff. Families that participate in the dscussion groups will be eligible to receive resources to help you put into practice the principles we share during BrightStart. These resources include books, toys and diapers (as available), all free of charge. With each 60 minute session of BrightStart, participating families will be able to visit our office at 20 Hartford Road to pick up either a children's book, toy or craft supplies. We are not able to provide the resources to families who don't participate in a discussion group, but you can still take the course.
We'll be in touch with instructions to create your account to get access to BrightStart For Parents online.
