What is a Parent Community Network?

The Parent Community Network (PCN) is an informal system created by parents to provide information, education and support for parents.

Most parents have the same concerns, need the same information, and appreciate the support of other parents.  They understand the need for prevention, as it relates to a wide range of problems and issues youth face today.

Parent Community Network offers parents opportunities to:

• connect with other parents and discuss challenges facing their children
  

• develop effective ways of communicating with their children about difficult issues such as alcohol, tobacco and other drugs
  

• learn about the latest prevention research
  

• develop the parenting tools needed to help their children make positive life choices
