Special Initiatives
Family relationships in general and the parent-child relationship in particular have a pervasive influence on the psychological, physical, social and economic well-being of children.
The Family Tree creates special initiatives around shared values and experiences that all families face when raising their children. These universal parent information efforts provide all parents with useful information about parenting through coordinated promotional and outreach campaigns using print and electronic media.
Take a look at some of our recent efforts.
