IMAGINE. ALL PARENTS, CAREGIVERS AND EDUCATORS, SUPPORTED WITH INSIGHT AND TOOLS SO THEIR CHILDREN CAN GET A CHANCE AT A STRONG START.

Join us as Women United advocates for Greater New Haven children through the Strong Starts for Children fundraiser!

Strong Starts for Children supports the work of the Secure Start Initiative which equips United Way’s network of community partners to offer parents and caregivers resources and education to help them effectively support their children, utilizing a methodology that draws on decades of research on early attachment, called Circle of Security Parenting.

Through this project, parents feel empowered by clear tools and strategies to meet their children’s needs with kindness and confidence, establishing strong attachments that are critical for optimal development and lifelong success.
 

THE OUTCOMES? NEARLY 100% OF SURVEY RESPONDENTS SAID THEY WOULD RECOMMEND SOMEONE TO THE PROGRAM.

EMOTIONS
"I like that I don't need to rush loved ones through feelings and allow them to just feel what they feel and then we can move forward after repairing." -Secure Starts parent

CONNECTIONS
"It was a blessing to meet a group/a family of people willing to discover new ways to establish a positive parent / child relationship." -Secure Start parent

EMPOWERMENT
"This was eye opening and helps me to be an emotionally mature and intuitive person with a lot more empathy." -Strong Starts parent

When parents participate in Secure Start, they gain skills to nurture their children during critical formative years, preparing them to: 

• Develop healthy relationships with peers, teachers, and caregivers
• Learn effective methods of managing their emotions
• Be prepared for a brighter academic future
• Be successful life-long learners

We met great success in our fundraising efforts last year and hundreds of children were impacted. This year’s goal is to raise $25,000 to support hundreds more children. We can do this together for Greater New Haven children!
 

WAYS TO PARTICIPATE

• Personal giving (payroll deduction, onetime gifts, and above and beyond gifts) 
• Peer to peer fundraising (set up a page to inspire support for this important program)  
• Sponsorships from your employer, professional groups, sororities, alumni groups, etc.
