In the first full episode of the Parenting Matters Podcast, we welcome Katrina Bellemare, Executive Director of Parenting Matters. It has been an impressive journey watching her lead this organization that has impacted thousands of families through parenting education and support. Through this podcast, Katrina has asked me to help share the vast expertise and knowledge, as well as stories of resiliency and hope that lie within the professionals at Parenting Matters. Her vision is that parents from around the world will learn new strategies, feel validated and supported, understand more about their children’s development, and be in awe of what amazing accomplishments young and growing minds are capable of at every stage. I hope you’ll stay and listen through to the end, when Katrina tells an emotional family story of a dad who is helping his young son heal and overcome a traumatic beginning to life.
