Parenting is 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year job. A parent’s concern for their child never ends, even when they’re grown and have children of their own. Parenting is a joyful, challenging, and rewarding job. Everyone needs extra help and support. Here is a list of some local resources in the Baraga, Houghton, and Keweenaw Counties.
