Bring on the experts!

PIP Groups are not just a time for families to bond - it's a time for them to learn together as well! PIP keeps a running list of Guest Speakers, generous individuals who volunteer their time and talents by visiting our PIP Groups to talk about their unique area of expertise with our parents. PIP Groups are greatly enhanced by these professionals' gifts, and we are so grateful to them for their contribution.
