The national Parents as Teachers™ vision is “that all children will learn, grow, and develop to realize their full potential.” Home visiting is a resource for families in Storey, Lyon, Carson, and Mineral counties.
Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Amy Reha, Mental Health and Advocacy Program Director/Psychotherapist with Community Chest, Inc., will give a presentation about recognizing signs of domestic violence, and available resources. Domestic Violence Awareness Month was launched nationwide in October 1987 as a way to connect and unite individuals and organizations working on domestic violence issues while raising awareness for those issues. Over the past 30+ years, progress has been made to support domestic violence victims and survivors, to hold abusers accountable, and to create and update legislation to further those goals.
