BROOKLYN FAMILY DEFENSE PROJECT HOLDS SECOND ANNUAL PARENT AWARD CEREMONY

Each year, the Brooklyn Family Defense
Project holds an award ceremony recognizing parents for their strength
and courage in facing the family court and child welfare systems. Parents are honored for their perseverance,
their accomplishments, and their dedication to their children. This year's event took
place on July 14^th at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum. 

More than 20
parents were honored, accepting the awards with their children. The awards
were presented by the BFDP interdisciplinary team working with the parent. An
institution dedicated to the cultural enrichment of young children was an ideal
setting for the event. Before the award
ceremony, children were able to spend time in the museum with their parents. Great thanks to the NYC Children’s Museum of
the Arts for providing two artists to help the children to
proudly draw pictures saying “I love
Mommy.”
