Black Parent Support Group
About this Event

In partnership with Northside Community Involvement, Inc, we are excited to announce the Black Parent Outreach: An Initiative to Include & Inform.


The purpose of this group is to help spread awareness of the characteristics and disparities of developmental, cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social disorders /disabilities to practitioners and Black families. Ultimately, this group will help to build trust between communities as well as a sense of understanding for caregivers so that they are equipped with information to help bridge the gap with identification and problems with disparities.
