WHERE
THE HEART LISTENS
A HANDBOOK FOR PARENTS
and their allies
IN A GLOBAL SOCIETY
by Eve Sullivan
About
the author...
Eve Sullivan founded PARENTS
FORUM as a way to pass along the help she received from other
parents during a family crisis. She trained to be a French teacher
and presently works at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
as editorial assistant for a physics journal. Previously she
taught English as a Second Language in Massachusetts, Portugal,
and Tunisia. She has three grown sons and counts as part of her
family a young man from Ethiopia.
About
the program...
PARENTS FORUM began in
1991 as a column in the bimonthly North Cambridge News (Cambridge,
Mass. USA). The program was organized informally in October of
that year and incorporated in 1992. The program received United
States Internal Revenue Service determination of status as a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 1993. This determination
was reaffirmed in 1999.
In 1993 the program was
given a special "Social Venturing Award" as a socially
responsible business idea by the Entrepreneurs Club of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. In 1994 the Massachusetts Volunteer
Network gave PARENTS FORUM an Honorable Mention as "Program
of the Year."

PARENTS FORUM is based
on thoughtful examination of eight original questions about family
life issues. The workshops, designed by Eve Sullivan and Christine
Bates, develop parenting skills and are suitable for various
settings. While nothing replaces the live PARENTS FORUM experience,
this handbook serves as a "workshop in your pocket" and
can help parents and children improve their communications skills.
