But for millions of others, home is anything but a sanctuary. The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that 1.3 million women and 835,000 men are victims of physical violence by a partner every year.

If your child is on the quieter side or is very private, there are ways to ask questions that will open up a conversation instead of shutting one down. Join us for t...

A recent nationwide  survey  of school superintendents showed that 94 percent of them aren’t ready to announce when they’ll reopen classrooms for the 2020-2021 school year.
