Support Group for Parents & Caretakers of Teens Survey

Would you like to participate in a free support group in Amesbury?

The Partnership of Amesbury Community and Teens (PACT) would like to hear from Amesbury parents and caretakers of teens to see if there is an interest in a regular support group. The purpose of this group would be to create a supportive, trusting environment where parents/caregivers would be provided the opportunity to freely discuss challenges, get advice, just listen, and/or gain knowledge and parenting tips. These groups would be facilitated by local Social Worker Jessica Spater
