Family Spotlight: The Duffey's

Jennifer and Michael Duffey of Waretown, NJ attend the Ocean County Family Success Center's Nurturing Parenting group once a month. They found out about the program through their couples counselor at a local Saint Barnabas Health Center after discovering that they were pregnant with their first child.
The Duffey's started the class in May of this year and have continued into November even after the birth of their child, Blake Duffey.
The couple said they found OCFSC's parent education workshop to be informative, very thorough, affordable and worth referring.

If you would like to know about the Nurturing Pareting group please call Susan O'Leary at 732-557-5037 ext. 227 or e-mail her at SOleary@chsofnj.org.
