The New Hampshire Children’s Trust will present “My Voice Matters” at the Peterborough Town Library from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 6. This free training program will help families learn how to advocate for their children’s needs in the community.
Participants will learn why their voice matters and how to advocate for children at doctor’s appointments, at parent teacher conferences, at their jobs, at town meetings, at schoo lboard meetings, by voting, by contacting state representatives and more.
The New Hampshire Children’s Trust strategies are deeply rooted in social ecology. They advocate for public policies that protect children, support institutions with family-friendly approaches, build communities that provide concrete supports to those in need, encourage families, friends, and neighbors to check in on loved ones, and give parents the tools and knowledge they need to build their capacities.
