NPC is conveniently located on
Main Street, Newtown
Edmond Town Hall

This space allows our organization to provide services and offer more options to the greater Newtown community. The Newtown Parent Connection offers weekly support groups and has serviced more than 200 families over the past seven years. The location continues to make it convenient for both Newtown and surrounding area residents to attend.
Workshops and Resource Lending Library
The new office is a centralized location for hosting small workshops and educational programs to meet the current and continuing needs of the community. Now, NPC will be able to receive telephone calls and display resource materials.
A small lending library is available at the Newtown Parent Connection. Videotapes of many of the previous public forums can also be borrowed. Click here to see a bibliography of some of the materials available to borrow. More on Lending Library >
NPC's Commitment
NPC is completely committed to serving the needs of the community. The mission, “To educate and empower the community in the prevention of substance abuse, and to embrace families in crisis,” is one that is taken quite seriously by the founders, Dorrie Carolan and Donna DeLuca. Their dedicated volunteer Board of Directors works diligently to provide for the most current societal concerns which, they acknowledge, touch everyone’s lives.
This new venue will enable the organization to continue their current offerings and branch out as various needs arise. By expanding program options, their hope is to further build the healthy infrastructure of Newtown and neighboring towns. If you would like to know more about the services of the Newtown Parent Connection, Inc., or need immediate assistance for a current substance-related crisis, please call 270-1600, Dorrie at 994-5394, or Donna at 948-1254.
