Building Healthy Connections VISTA
 
 
 
Better Together Central Oregon (bettertogethercentraloregon.org) is regional, cross-sector partnership working collectively to improve child and youth success from before birth to career. VISTA Members will focus their outreach and partnership development efforts in four priorities along the cradle to career continuum: 1) Early Learning and Wellness, 2) Supporting Families, 3) Bridging vulnerable transitions and 4) Aligning education/training with career. The VISTA will serve in critical support of the complex social issue of ensuring long-term student success. VISTA will work to increase the capacity and sustainability of parenting resources in Central Oregon through community partner, Family Resource Center (frconline.org).

Member Duties : Family Resource Center's project will focus on program development and outreach across the region with an emphasis in areas of high poverty. Parenting skills are critical to children's optimal well-being and development. Research has shown that effective parenting education can strengthen and support families and communities in the prevention of child abuse and neglect, promote protective factors and lead to positive outcomes for both parents and children of low income families. The VISTA will support the Building Healthy Connections project, a project working to increase the capacity of Family Resource Center to deliver parenting education and to increase engagement with populations living in poverty.
