Hello everyone and Happy Spring.

I have been hard at work preparing for a presentation for the Maine NASW on Identifying PDA in children and teens. I looked up and, it’s Sunday afternoon! How many of you can relate?

I know that Spring is full of possibility and joy as the weather and increased daylight can spark hopefulness in the dark Northeast. But Spring brings challenges for the families that we serve.
