Circle of Parents is a network of parent-led self-help groups where parents and caregivers can share ideas, celebrate successes, and address the challenges surrounding parenthood.

Currently, the Circle of Parents national network represents a partnership of parent leaders and 19 statewide and regional organizations. The organization was formed after a successful collaborative project of Prevent Child Abuse America and the National Family Support Roundtable, which was made possible by the Children’s Bureau, Administration on Children, Youth and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

FIRST is glad to offer two groups to parents thanks to funding from North Carolina’s Children’s Trust Fund and other sources. Contact us to ask about either of these groups:

Parents with Young Children meets at Burton Street Center

Spanish Speaking Parents Raising Children with Disabilities currently meeting at West Asheville Community Center
