We had a great time at the Community College of Vermont Ice Cream Social on Tuesday giving people the scoop on Lund’s Parent Child Center services and how we can support families as they achieve their educational goals. We’re so grateful for this partnership with CCV, it’s an important pipeline for families transitioning out of our Residential Treatment Program. It’s possible to parent, continue education, and work on recovery—and it’s partnerships like this that make that goal a reality! 📷 : Kimberly Laroche, Liz Jarvis, Sharon Lifschutz #Lund #continuededucation #community #icecreamsocial #parentchildcenter

Lund’s Family Education Program was chosen this year to receive the Turrell Fund S. Whitney Landon Award. It recognizes exemplary early childhood programs in Vermont for their innovative and replicable approaches to child and family wellbeing. 🎉 "For parents living at Lund’s Residential Treatment Program, Family Education helps create sustainable, positive change. In 2019, a parent living in the Residential program did not have custody of one of her children. She presented with concerns about generational patterns, in which she passed on to the relationship with her child, and expressed low confidence as a parent. She felt she lacked the knowledge, awareness, and insight into parenting skills that would break this cycle. Through engaging with a Family Educator to gain support with basic care knowledge, child safety and supervision, child developmental milestones, attachment, and attunement with her children, the parent was able to resume parent-child contact. Ultimately, this led to her gaining full custody of both of her children, and sustaining learned skills from the residential program with her children, and into the community," shared Kierin Williams, Lund's Children's Services Coordinator. Our Family Educators work with families in their homes or at Lund's Residential Treatment Program, providing parenting and child development education. They cultivate strong relationships so families can overcome feelings of isolation or reluctance to ask for help.

Yesterday, our Early Childhood Education Program held its annual lemonade stand. Instead of monetary donations, the program asks for seeds or seedlings for their on-site garden. This is a fun way for staff, parents, and community members to support our Early Childhood Education Program. Special thanks to Anson Tebbetts, Secretary of Agriculture, Food and Markets, for stopping by and delivering seeds, recipes, and Gilfeather turnip seedlings (the Vermont state vegetable)!
