Kids First Huron-Perth is among a group of child development experts in the region using tools such as texting to address pandemic related challenges for youth and rural Ontario families for what they face during a pandemic.
Perth Care for Kids and Rural Response for Healthy Children are fellow groups in the partnership to launch the text based info sharing service.
Various messages are included with the service such as a reminder to eat together as an important way for families to connect, another with a list of questions to ask when finding a childcare provider.
The service can be accessed by texting KIDSFIRST to 226-909-3005
