Upcoming Parent Supports Hosted by OASIS and the Stoughton Youth Commission:

OASIS and the Youth Commission are working on pulling together a support group for Grandparents (and other kinship providers) who are raising grandchildren through our early childhood prevention efforts.  

We know that often grandparents and other family members end up unexpectedly taking on the care of their adult children's children, often related to addiction.

We are hosting an informal focus group to aid in the development of the support group on  FEBRUARY 21 at 10 at the Stoughton YMCA.  It is open to all (you don't need to be a Y member) and childcare will be provided for those that need it. Please read more about it below:

OASIS and the Youth Commission are also hosting a parent night at WIlkins for families with students in Kindergarten and Grade 1
