Inclusion Statement:

Parenting Now remains focused on its vision that all children are raised by nurturing, skilled parents. We will continue to strive to be a culturally responsive organization where everyone treats and is treated with kindness and respect, regardless of their color, race/ethnicity, heritage, religion, sexual orientation, gender, language, immigration status or physical and mental abilities.

Oregon is home to diverse families. We know that many of our families and Parenting Now staff are concerned about and affected by the charged political climate and increased incidents of hate crimes in our local, state and national communities. Many are experiencing extreme uncertainty about their immediate and future well-being.

We want to reassure families and our community that Parenting Now embraces all parents and children. We are committed to supporting every parent and caregiver in creating a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for children. Para leer en español, haga clic aquí.
