Parents' Voices CORE Team

Connections, Opportunities, Resources, Empowerment

The Parents' Voice's CORE (Connections, Opportunities, Resources, Empowerment) is a closed meeting that consists of Parent Navigators who have lived experiences. We represent Parents' voices! We include any Parent who wants to get involved and bring their expertise to the team. We have a very diverse group of Parents with lived experiences in many different areas of Parenthood such as, child welfare, probation, adoption, special needs, juvenile justice, caring for an elderly, etc... We empower each other by providing support to one another. Many of our Parents have multiple lived experiences and knowledge to help other Parents get through similar situations. Most of us have a Professional role, but we encourage our Parents to bring their expertise to the table as Parents with lived experience rather than a Professional with insight. Our Parent Navigators are involved in many "meaningful engagement opportunities," such as our Social Connections meetings. Still, the CORE meeting is a safe & brave place for ideas to improve and enhance the amazing existing resources and hopefully add more. Our CORE team provides exactly what it says, Connections, Opportunities, Resources, and Empowerment!
