AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO PARENTS ANONYMOUS OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC.

 

Whereas, Parents Anonymous of North Carolina, Inc., is a private, nonprofit agency that provides organizational support and professional expertise to communities to help them establish and maintain Parents Anonymous chapters; and

Whereas, since its incorporation in 1976, Parents Anonymous of North Carolina, Inc., has established 24 chapters throughout the State; and

Whereas, Parents Anonymous chapters offer a self-help group approach to the prevention of child abuse and neglect that has proven to be extremely successful in alleviating stress in troubled families; and
