Welcome to Our New Home
By Elizabeth Venart, Director of The Resiliency Center
 Can you feel the energy and excitement in the air? Have you noticed a buzz of activity and flurry of boxes at the Center as we prepare to move? Change is a-brewing, and we are having fun envisioning and planning for all the ways we can serve the community even better as we move into our larger space.
Our official move date is Friday, August 15th. We look forward to welcoming you into our new home beginning on Monday, August 18th.
Our Grand Opening Celebration will be held this coming October, after we've settled in and spiffed up the place for a big party! Join us for tours of the new building, free programming, and refreshments. Stay tuned to the newsletter for more details.

Building Resilience in Response to the Challenges of Today’s Families
by Kathleen Krol, MSS, LCSW, RPT-S
 Being a parent and raising a family has never been easy. Today’s parents, like those of past generations, face many challenges. Whereas, some parenting issues have been around for some time, today’s modern world presents many unique, complex challenges of its own. What are these challenges and how can a family be resilient in the face of them? This article will explore some options.
There has been for some time an explosion of knowledge readily available at one’s fingertips, with everyone and anyone giving advice on how to effectively parent and improve one’s relationships. Dr. Phil is a well-known name whose business is offering this advice. As part of this trend, many people are also diagnosing children now, so any child with behavior problems must have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or be Oppositional Defiant and need medication. As a parent, how do you sort through what information is valid and going to be beneficial to your child/teen and what will be detrimental and harmful?
Advances in technology not only bombard us with information but our children as well.
