Parent Support: " We all worry about who our children will become when they grow and set off on their own. What happens to them may often be beyond our control, but a great deal of how they face the events and circumstances of their lives, and what they make of them, will have been started in their years with us." Fred Rogers creator and host, Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.
Legislative Assistance
This legislative site www.njleg.state.nj.us is your passport to your Childs representation in the assembly and senate. Use it while you can have some control over the events and circumstances you now find your child in. The site is user friendly and will allow you to directly e mail your districts representative in both the assembly and the senate. Nothing is more potent then parent power. These representatives are parents, uncles, aunts and grandparents of children. They are there to listen to your families needs and as each parent begins to become an ombudsman for his/her child the doors to better medicine will be open for all.
Keep the Center abreast of your letter writing and if we can assist you please request some assistance. We'll do all we can on our end to keep you focused on the task at hand. Plug in your suggestions, successes, failures and help pave the way for the next child.
Also for your information the Health, Human Services Senate Committee this year (2002) is chaired by:
Vitale, Joseph F.
Matheussen,John J.
other senate committee members are:
