The warm season may be coming to an end, but as
Healthy Families-TIP Program Manager Gina Hernandez
reminds us, it is important to "drive home" the issue about car
safety, specifically in regard to extreme temperatures. Each year,
an average of 36 children die from hyperthermia due to being left
unattended in a vehicle.
Read up on some tips to keep kids safe in the car this and every summer.
Our "Guest Author" series also
kicked off with a post from New Jersey non-profit consultant Marion Conway
describing how the non-profit community is working together via social
media and networking to get the word out there and gain amazing
supporters like you.
Our downloadable audio program has also been updated with new episodes, including a feature on the recent "Kids Day"
here at Prevent Child Abuse-New Jersey. Listen in as children of all
ages describe the impact their parents have on their lives!

The Northern NJ Parent Empowerment Summit
The Northern NJ Parent Empowerment Summit is an initiative of the New Jersey Parent Information and Resource Center (NJPIRC),
in conjunction with the New Jersey Parent Teacher Association (NJ PTA)
to empower parents to be active participants in their children's lives
and education.
NJPIRC
invites all parents of children in preschool to grade 12 to join us for
the Summit. A keynote presentation by National Award Winning Speaker Carol Ritter
will focus on inspiring parents to get involved in their children's
education. Workshops will empower parents to prepare their
children for success and inform them of ways to become active leaders in
their child’s school community.
