VSU hosts new national organization’s first conference, June 13-14

The National Effective Parenting Initiative will host its first conference, The Pathways to Effective Parent Education, at Virginia State University, June 13-14. Organizing groups include: Department of Health, Prevent Child Abuse Virginia, and the Governor’s Office of†Substance Abuse Prevention.

From the press release:

At a White House Briefing held in December 2006 at the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, Dr. Alvy told top officials of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and other federal agencies in attendance, “When effective parenting and parenting education become priorities, all communities benefit in numerous ways, such as reductions in the costly and often tragic problems that are associated with or caused by ineffective and uninformed parenting –¨ problems like child abuse and neglect, juvenile delinquency, substance abuse, school failure and underachievement, gangs, crime and violence..”

As part of efforts to build the capacity of communities to insure that every child is raised effectively, Dr. Alvy will begin delivering keynote addresses on Organizing America for Effective Parenting that show how NEPI memberships and initiatives can be used in creating local effective parenting projects. These inspiring presentations are supplemented by meetings with Dr. Alvy and local leadership groups to explore specific strategies for creating and supporting such important undertakings.
