The NYS Parent Portal houses the four websites created by the NYS Council on Children and Families with state agency partners to help parents and caregivers. Parents, caregivers and social service professionals can help build a culture of positive parenting in our communities with the help of these resources. Use these resources to make families aware of childcare options, helpful hints to navigate concerns about development delays, and parenting support in your community.

International Overdose Awareness Day is a global event held on 31 August each year and aims to raise awareness of overdose and reduce the stigma of a drug-related death. It also acknowledges the grief felt by families and friends remembering those who have died or had a permanent injury as a result of drug overdose.

International Overdose Awareness Day spreads the message that overdose death is preventable.
