Parent Information Nights
Not exactly a support group and much more than a lecture, Parent Information Nights are gatherings hosted by UCP-OC to bring current information to parents on an array of topics. Leaders in their fields are asked to present information relevant to the concerns of parents and then respond to questions and dialogue in a small and candid environment.
These meetings occur about once a quarter; notices are sent out via mail and email, so be sure to keep us posted on your current addresses.
Parent Email Network
Here at UCP-OC we receive notices of conferences, workshops, seminars, new support groups, fundraising walks, legislative alerts, new resources, offers of free event tickets, etc. almost daily. It would be impossible to share all of these with parents by mail or newsletter, but utilizing email addresses, we can forward along the most important, the most fun, the most cutting edge issues. We’ll be happy to include you in our network if you want to share your email address with us along with some minimal family and child information. Be assured that your address is kept in the strictest confidence; it will not given to any other agencies nor is it viewed by anyone else within the network.
"Just wanted to say thank you for always keeping us in the loop on everything important!" from Susan Barrero, mother of Amanda
