PCA Illinois Launches
20 Second Parenting Tips Videos
Helping parents exactly where they are… it was this simple idea that spurred the launch of “20 Second Parenting Tips”. The viral video series which launched on February 5th, is a part of a new strategy to get the knowledge and advice of the professionals at PCA Illinois into the hands of everyday parents.
PCA Illinois is once again gearing up for a full slate of kick-offs and other activities to bring awareness to the cause of prevention.
Cognitive scientists at MIT have released a new study examining the effects of not just talking to your baby but HOW you talk to them.
BOARD/STAFF SPOTLIGHT
MARK MATHEWS
WHAT DO YOU DO?: Executive Director of the Child Abuse Council (www.childabuseqc.org)

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH PCA ILLINOIS?: Since June of 2018.

WHY DID YOU GET INVOLVED?: Roy Harley was the Executive Director of the Child Abuse Council before he joined PCA Illinois, so there had been a long "informal" connection between our agencies. I thought joining the board was a great opportunity for our organizations to have a more "formal" connection. Plus, I'm a big supporter of the PCA Illinois vision statement. I believe all children deserve a happy and healthy home to grow up in, so I'm proud to join this team and help make that happen for all kids in Illinois!
