PARENTING AND THE
ECONOMY...
Being a parent today may seem
especially tough. With the added stress of
unemployment, foreclosure or general financial
stress, parents need more support than ever
before.
Please share SCAN's Online Parent
Resource Center with parents you know. Right
now we're highlighting a fact sheet on
Parenting in Times of Economic
Stress, as well as a new Family
Calendar with 30 days full of low (or no)
cost activities. (Both in English &
Spanish!)
