What are your hope(s) for our work together as an Early Childhood Collaborative; Why are you a member?

” It is my hope that the services we provide at the Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley and the Community Action for Safe Teens Coalition will be a resource to families.  We hope that people will access the resources because it will help to strengthen youth, families, and the larger community.  There are many reasons that people may need assistance and we want everyone to know that it is okay to reach out.  Together we will strengthen the Souhegan Valley community and reduce substance misuse and mental health issues in our community. “
