M. Scott Peck

"The feeling of being valuable - 'I am a valuable person'- is essential to mental health and is a cornerstone of self-discipline."
Bill Clinton

"Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, but stigma and bias shame us all."
Child abuse

One in four children being victimized? That's about seven children in every classroom. That's a significant proportion of the population.
Child abuse

Child abuse and neglect offend the basic values of our state. We have a responsibility to provide safe settings for at-risk children and facilitate permanent placement for children who cannot return home.
Child abuse

Child abuse does not go away, but 90 percent of child abuse is preventable.
Scott Hamilton

The only disability in life is a bad attitude.
Marlee Matlin

It was ability that mattered, not disability, which is a word I'm not crazy about using.
Susan Boyle

I was slightly brain damaged at birth, and I want people like me to see that they shouldn't let a disability get in the way. I want to raise awareness - I want to turn my disability into ability.
Martina Navratilova

Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone.
Talent has no boundaries

Talent has no boundaries: Workforce diversity includes people with disabilities!

Healthy Families empowers families…
Tuesday, 07 September 2010 - Administrator

Strong families breed competent, capable children. Our community is a better place to live when children enter school ready to learn, and graduate ready to face life’s challenges. Many parents are unsure about how to make the most of their children’s earliest years. Healthy Families has a proven record of helping parents. Promoting positive parenting is a win-win for the child, the parent, and the community.

Helping People Succeed is always looking for people in our community who want to lend a hand – and their heart- to helping our organization help others. Whether it’s encouraging an adult with a disability, or processing a mass mailing, the kindness and generosity of valued volunteers contribute to the overall success of our organization. “We are all here on earth to help others. What on earth the others are here for I don’t know.” W.H. Auden

Community Connections
Tuesday, 07 September 2010 - Administrator

How many times do we realize that we often take the daily tasks of our lives for granted. We forget that there are citizens among us who can’t go to the library on their own, who would have difficulty picking out a dress or who have never been to a movie. That’s what the Community Living program is all about – allowing adults with disabilities to enjoy a movie, go shopping or even listen to tapes at the local library. Help us help them to lead everyday lives, just like you.

Music and Movement Creates Happy Memories…
Thursday, 24 March 2011 - Administrator

Head and shoulders, knees and toes, parents and babies nose to nose. Participating in music and movement activities promotes healthy growth and development. Beyond the research, it’s happy times. New friendships. Shared joy.
