The Pittsburgh
Superhero 5K
The Pittsburgh Superhero 5K will be held on April 17, 2010 beginning at
the North Park Lodge (Time TBD). The entire family is encouraged to
come, dressed as their favorite superheroes (optional), and participate
in the family games, DJ and autograph sessions there. There will also
be an adults-only after-event party at a local bar in the area (more
details to follow). Last year's event raised over $13,000 for the
prevention and awareness of child abuse. Our goal this year is to raise
over $20,000. Every child needs a hero, but abused children need
superheroes. For more information about the Superhero Foundation, look
online at www.thesuperherofoundation.org.

Family Resources is launching this new campaign to encourage all of us
to get involved to support parents and children.

Child
Abuse
Prevention Month Campaign
What should you do when you see a parent screaming or belittling a
child in a public place, a parent spanking a child for touching an
object that may have sparked her curiosity, or a distracted parent
leaving a child unattended? Watching a parent and child in a stressful
situation, we may be unsure how we ourselves should behave. What could
we do to help? What is our responsibility?
We believe that everyone is responsible for what happens to children.
For more information, call Family Resources Parenting WARMLINE at
