Danbury Regional Child Advocacy Center
The Danbury Regional Child Advocacy Center offers a number of programs to help parents gather the essential parenting skills and resources necessary to meet their potential. They have a myriad of resources available to them. Maria Vargas, who runs the C.O.P.E.S. program (among various other programs and projects that she co-ordinates) is a wonderfully helpful and understanding woman.
2-1-1!
Probably the best resource of all is 2-1-1! Just dial 211 from any phone in CT and you will gain access to a host of helpful people who can assist you with almost any inquiry you may have (I have called them with questions that range from absurd to complicated to simple and they’ve helped me with everything except finding a babysitter on a Friday afternoon for that night).
Whether you would like to become a volunteer or need an answer to a question or need help, 2-1-1 is there to help. The best part of all is that it is FREE!
They also have a website for those who don’t feel comfortable calling or are more web-inclined.
