Proud of sponsorship

To the editor:

Your Own United Resources Inc. is proud to have sponsored Dr. Ira Chasnoff’s visit to Fort Dodge.

He is a renowned researcher, author, and presenter. His work has focused on the biological and the environmental factors that impact the ultimate development of alcohol and drug exposed children.

Because of the work we do in implementing the National Early Head Start and Head Start programs in this area, our mission is to prepare children birth to 5 years to be successful in school and life. We know that parents, including pregnant moms, play an important role in their child’s development, and parent engagement has always been part of our services.

In his presentation, Dr. Chasnoff inspired us in our work to understand the effects of drugs and alcohol, and tobacco use on children and families and to see the importance of early identification and appropriate treatment and interventions

We thank our many community partners who attended Dr. Chasnoff’s presentation because they also support the well-being of children and families in our area.

We also thank St. Paul’s staff members who were very supportive and gracious throughout the day.

Let’s all work together to keep children free from exposure to drugs, alcohol and tobacco smoke. Encourage pregnant moms to give their developing child a healthy start by avoiding these dangers.
