The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

*Monthly National Conference Call*

Starting in September 2021, the National Federation of the Blind's Blind Parents Group will be hosting a monthly conference call for all blind and visually impaired parents. Each month, a state that has a blind parents group will host the call.

In September 2021, the National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania (NFB-PA)'s Blind Parents Group will be the first host!

The NFB of PA is planning a 6-month workshop on the Powers of Positive Parenting and we want to open up our first session to the entire National Federation of the Blind!

*When*: Saturday, September 18, 2021 from 7pm to 8:30pm EST

*Who*: National Federation of the Blind's Blind Parents Group

*Host*: National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania

*Where*: Zoom (Information Below)

*What*: Monthly National Conference Call for Blind and Visually Impaired Parents

*Topic*: Powers of Positive Parenting by Triple P Certified Facilitator

*About the Speaker: *

Valerie Anderson is a certified facilitator for the Power of Positive Parenting (Triple P Program). She has a Master Degree in Social Work and works part time as a parenting group facilitator at Turning Points for Children’s Project F.A.M. Parenting Program for the past 7 years. Her group facilitation skills include working with a variety of parents (i.e., women in recovery, teen parents, early childhood parents…) in a variety of settings throughout the city of Philadelphia.

*Overview of Triple P Program:*

The Triple P Program is an evidence- based program focused on parenting children from the age 2-12 years old. It provides parents with positive parenting techniques and strategies to teach children the skills to be independent, manage their feelings, solve problems, and communicate to get along with others. It has a cognitive behavior approach to parenting to help children as well as parents make goals for change. Parents will be able to develop their own personalized plans for positive parenting strategies.
