result of collaboration with a variety of Faith groups, school systems, child care centers, community organizations and other interested groups. We also offer, as a result of the number of requests coming in to the PRC regarding specific topics, classes sponsored solely by the PRC on a continual basis. Anger, grandparenting issues, and children spending time alone are examples of class topics offered. B. General Proiect Information (You may attach supplemental pages to answer these questions.) 1. Project title: PARENTING RESOURCES CENTER 2. Briefly list the project's goal(s). THE PARENTING RESOURCES CENTER WORKS TOWARDS THE FOLLOWING GOAL: THE PARENT RESOURCES CENTER WILL PROVIDE RESEARCH BASED, PERTINENT PARENT EDUCATION CLASSES TO RESIDENTS OF REGION V AND WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT PARENTS IN REGION V THROUGH GENERAL INFORMATION VIA TELEPHONE, RESOURCE LIBRARY, DISPLAYS AND THE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER. 3. Briefly summarize the project and the health need it seeks to address. Please include objective evidence (data, statistics, etc.) of the clear and compelling need for the proposed project. THE PARENTING RESOURCES CENTER SEEKS TO PROVIDE EDUCATION TO PARENTS ON PERTINENT TOPICS IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT IS APPLICABLE TO DAILY LIFE AND PARENTAL STRESSES. THE NORTH DAKOTA KIDS COUNT REPORTS THAT 81% OF NORTH DAKOTA WOMEN WITH CHILDREN AGES 0 -17 ARE IN THE WORK FORCE AND 76% OF WOMEN WITH CHILDREN AGES 0 TO 5 ARE IN THE WORK FORCE. THIS INFORMATION REMINDS US THAT PARENTS ARE IN NEED OF WAYS TO MAKE THE TIME SPENT WITH CHILDREN QUALITY TIME. IT ALSO STRESSES THE NEED FOR AGENCIES SUCH AS THE PARENTING RESOURCES CENTER TO BALANCE GOOD INFORMATION WITH SUPPORT. PARENTAL INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED IN AN EFFICIENT AND USER FRIENDLY WAY TO ENCOURAGE PARENTS TO DO THE BEST JOB POSSIBLE IN GUIDING AND RAISING THEIR CHILDREN. THIS INFORMATION ALSO REMINDS US THAT CHILDREN ARE BEING CARED FOR BY CHILDCARE PROFESSIONALS, GRANDPARENTS, RELATIVES AND FRIENDS MAKING PARENTING RESOURCES NECESSARY FOR ADULTS WHO WORK WITH CHILDREN IN A CHILD REARING ROLE AS WELL AS THEIR PARENTS.
