Other Family Services …
Just because we are practicing physical distancing doesn’t mean we need to be socially isolated. In addition to outdoor support groups and classes, we currently offer several Zoom-based parent groups, along with special guest speakers and events.
Whether in-person or online, we strive to create a safe, judgement-free space for all parents and caregivers. Everyone is welcome.

Join wellness practitioner Eric Almeida and learn practical tools and techniques to help you achieve your eating goals. Eric Almeida is an Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner. He will be demonstrating how EFT can be used to heal the emotional triggers that cause people to reach for food as a way to cope with life’s hardships.
Peer-to-peer support is a valuable tool for everyone’s well-being, and group facilitators are skilled in helping families find extra support when needed. Please know that Parent Groups are not a substitute for professional medical and mental health services.
If you feel like you are having a mental health emergency, please call or text the 24/7 helpline at 877-870-4673.
Thank you to our generous sponsors, donors, and volunteers who make the Parent Support Program run.
It Takes a Village’s programs are always 100% free to families, regardless of income or circumstance. We rely on sponsors, grantors, and generous individuals to keep it that way.
Do you want to keep these programs free?
