Great upcoming workshops from The Children's Museum of New Hampshire for March and April!
"Free Speaker Series

In response to overwhelming requests for mental and emotional wellbeing programs from local families, the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire in Dover is proud to announce a Wonder & Wellness Speaker Series. The speaker series is one of several initiatives the museum has launched this year thanks to a generous grant from the Kennebunk Savings Bank Foundation. The Children’s Museum of NH, long seen as a safe place, free of stigma, has partnered with a variety of local mental and emotional wellbeing professionals for this speaker series, which are designed for parents and caregivers to support their child’s and their own emotional wellbeing.

Pre-registration is required for these workshops, which include a simple pizza dinner (5–5:30pm), as well as limited free childcare for ages 4 and up (must use bathroom independently) for participating families during speaker presentation (5:30–6:30pm)."

"ou know this feeling... the ache of carrying your child’s entire history in your body, the vigilance, the instinct to protect, the moments when advocacy feels like the only thing holding everything together.
In her latest blog, Joanne explores the tension between knowing your child better than anyone and learning, sometimes painfully, to let collaboration in. This piece names the fear, the resistance, the hope, and the growth that can emerge when care becomes shared rather than carried alone.

"Introducing the Contact Person Notification Program!
A statewide public safety initiative that allows residents to voluntarily provide contact information of a legal guardian or other individuals who can assist law enforcement in communicating with persons with cognitive impairment or other disabilities.
Voluntarily submitting your loved one’s information will give law enforcement additional knowledge on how best to interact with them and allow you, the caregiver, to be contacted directly and in a timely manner.
To learn more about the program, how it works, and how you can sign up, call (603) 223-3872, email us at NCIC@dos.nh.gov, or visit: nhsp.dos.nh.gov "

New Hampshire was one of the first Family Voices organizations in the U.S., starting in 1994 as a grassroots network of families of children and youth with special health care needs that shared information, resources, health programs, and policies.

Today, there is a Family Voices Affiliate in almost every state, and New Hampshire Family Voices (NHFV) continues to help families and professionals navigate the systems designed to serve them and foster a strong network of support.

Our founding members were parents, and to this day, the majority of our staff are individuals and family members with lived experience. We involve families, amplify their voices, participate in program development, and share expertise to influence policies that impact children.

NHFV connects families of children and youth with special healthcare needs and disabilities to the resources they require and provides vital information to help them access the services and support they need to thrive.

NHFV is administered under a fiscal agreement with the New Hampshire Coalition for Citizens with Disabilities Inc., d/b/a Parent Information Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and is the State Affiliate Organization of Family Voices National.
