Annually, Prevent Child Abuse Vermont (PCAVT) coordinates several Nurturing Parenting Programs (NPP) and Circle of Parents (COP) support groups throughout the region. These are groups for parents who are looking for extra support and/or want to learn additional skills around parenting.
All programs are free of charge and include a light meal, and childcare if needed.
