March 1 – Giving Day

February 10, 2018 by NPC

SAVE THE DATE! March 1, 2018 is Fairfield County’s Community Foundation Giving Day.  We hope you will consider making a contribution to Newtown Parent Connection on March 1st through this community program’s campaign.  It offers us the chance to increase the amount of donations because they are matched by local companies.  We will send a reminder email to our mailing list on March 1st along with the proper link to the web site.  If you are not yet on our mailing list – please sign up on our home page!

March 1st – DONATE HERE

Newtown Parent Connection started as a grassroots organization so that parents could network with one another to discuss the drug issues we were facing in our town. We believe that knowledge is power, and by becoming better informed, we can begin to take the steps necessary to prevent or treat the problem. The mission of the Newtown Parent Connection is to educate and empower the community in the prevention of substance abuse and to embrace families in crisis. We work with individuals and families to build resiliency and strengthen the connection amongst family members. Strong families help create strong communities. We work in conjunction with town agencies, the schools, religious communities, and police departments, to enlighten our community in order to prevent the use of drugs and alcohol amongst our youth. We offer weekly support groups in Newtown and Fairfield for those who have questions or concerns about their child or loved ones possible or confirmed involvement with substances. We offer a monthly bereavement group for those who have lost a child or loved one due to substance abuse or catastrophic circumstances. We offer a weekly Voices of Hope support group for middle school and high school students who care about someone who uses alcohol and/or drugs where they can safely share their experience and strength. Students will build leadership skills that they can use to help others.

Founder & Executive Director

Dorrie Carolan, Newtown Parent Connection, Inc.Dorrie Carolan and her husband raised their four children in Newtown, CT. Starting the Parent Connection was never part of her plan. The issue of substance abuse became personal when her eldest son, Brian, became addicted and subsequently died at age 28 of a prescription drug overdose. Through the struggles caused by Brian's addiction, Dorrie became aware that this was an issue that affected many others in the community. She founded the Parent Connection in 1993 in an attempt to network with other concerned Newtown parents. It was the impetus behind many policy changes in town and within the schools.

Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors is a committed body of volunteers who support our mission to keep the youth of Newtown safe and substance free.
