NORWICH For many parents, the everyday responsibilities of caring for a child can make them feel isolated, stressed and nervous, but one local agency is attempting to help parents and children by providing a safe setting where they can interact with each other and with their peers.
The Parents As Leaders Family Resource Center, offered through the Mothers and Babies Perinatal Network, provides a location where any caregiver with a child from birth to five years of age can enjoy scheduled activities and outings with others in a similar situation.
