WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - Berkshire Children and Families is pleased to announce a new support group for parents hosted by the Milne Public Library’s children’s department. The initial meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 4 at 10 a.m. and is for everyone raising children ages birth to 18 years. After an initial meeting, facilitator Marcia Hickson hopes parents will step forward to tailor the session to their times and needs.
“Raising children was always challenging, but things seem to be more complicated now,” said Hickson in a recent interview. Hickson envisions a safe haven for parents to share experiences, raise and discuss issues, and help each other through this exciting time in family life. Topics are expected to range from potty training to school readiness or beyond to the college application process and empty nest syndrome.
In order to serve families, Hickson’s organization is willing to provide childcare for this session if parents request it. Library staff will not be able to monitor young children so we ask that you pre-register and indicate your need for child care. Marcia Hickson may be reached at 663-4110 or contact Mindy or Helen at the library 458-5369 ext.11.
