Share your thoughts! Health Department launches survey for parents and caregivers

Whitby, Ontario – Durham Region Health Department is inviting parents and caregivers of children three to six-years old to participate in a new survey to help better understand the challenges parents face, and what information and programs are needed to support healthy growth and development for children.

“We’re launching this parenting survey to hear directly from caregivers about their parenting experiences and to learn what supports are needed to help children thrive. This information will guide improvements in educational materials, local programs and services for families in Durham Region,” said Katherine Hanley, a public health nurse with Durham Region Health Department.

The 15-minute survey is open to all parents and caregivers in Durham Region with children between three and six-years old. Participation is voluntary and anonymous.

To complete the survey, visit durham.ca/ParentingSurvey. The survey will remain open until December 19. All participants will have a chance to win one of eight $25 gift cards.
