Hello Strengthening Families Partners,
We hope you all are well and healthy.
One of our favorite times of the year is approaching - - PARENT RECOGNITION MONTH - - in February!
As 2023 is quickly approaching, we are gearing up for our annual Unsung Hero campaign in honor of Parent Recognition month (February) and we are hoping you can help us spread the word far and wide.
Since 2011, with your help, we have honored 309 parents and caregivers in Washington for the roles they have taken with their families, schools and communities. They have been recognized because they have shown strength, courage and empathy in their communities. We also acknowledge that for the past two years parents and primary caregivers have been called upon more than ever to be the buffer for the traumatic experiences that our world has been facing. Parents and caregivers around Washington State are supporting their children, families, and communities in exceptional ways through this pandemic and we want to show our appreciation. Please help us in honoring 28 more in February 2023 by nominating a parent/primary caregiver/guardian for the Unsung Hero award. The nomination form is available in three languages (English, Spanish and Somali) and can also be found here on our website.
All nominations must be submitted by January 3, 2023. The nominations can be emailed to strengtheningfamilies@dcyf.wa.gov.
Please pass this on to your Washington networks. We appreciate your ongoing support and let us know if you have any questions. Thank you.
