📢 ATTENTION NJ PARENTS! 📝Take the Parent Technology Use Survey today!
NJ Parent Community Voices Needed! The New Jersey Department of Children and Families’ (DCF) Office of Resilience and Office of Applied Research and Evaluation (ARE) have developed a survey to gain insight into how parents and caregivers use technology while with their child/ren. These insights will help us gain a better understanding of the role technology plays in modern parenting and family dynamics. Participation is completely voluntary. All responses are deidentified and will be used solely for research purposes. Individuals completing the survey will have the chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card. Five winners will be randomly selected using a lottery. Participation in the lottery will require sharing an email address, which will in no way be linked to or associated with survey responses. Please share this survey with parents and caregivers in New Jersey. We appreciate your support and participation.

Family Connects NJ currently operates in several counties and will eventually be available statewide. This webinar will highlight the program goals and outcomes and share how healthcare professionals can refer families as the initiative expands in northern New Jersey to Bergen, Hudson, Passaic, and Sussex counties in 2025. This webinar is for healthcare professionals. Registration is required. Professional education credits will not be provided. https://lnkd.in/ex6YzN5c
