Exciting Opportunity for First Steps Families in St. Louis Area!!!

Would you like to be a part of an exciting project that is identifying ways to
support families with children who have health issues or developmental delays?
 
This project, funded by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, is
designed to determine if an evidence-based program called Nurturing Parenting
affects caregiver's knowledge of child development and parenting behavior. 
Nurturing Parenting is an 8-week program that supports parents and provides them
with education and resources to help them meet the challenges they face (child
care is available for class time).  This is a research project, therefore
families who agree to participate will be randomly assigned to the group that
receives the Nurturing Parenting program or to the group that simply completes surveys
two times (eight weeks apart) and does not receive the parenting program. 
Participants in both groups are provided with monetary and other gifts in
appreciation for their time.  This opportunity is available to families with a
child under the age of 3 who are receiving First Steps services.  Please keep in
mind that this is a limited time offer, so please call Deb O'Neill at
314-877-6469 today for more information!
