Educate, Embrace, and Empower
We believe that knowledge is power and by becoming better informed, we can begin to take the steps necessary to prevent or treat the problem. This is an issue that affects all aspects of our community and your involvement will make a positive difference.
Our goal is to continue to work in conjunction town agencies, police departments, schools and religious communities to enlighten our community in order to prevent the use of drugs and alcohol among our youth.
Parent Connection is committed to addressing the problem of substance abuse directly and is dedicated to helping increase awareness through education.

Founder & Executive Director
Dorrie Carolan and her husband raised their four children in Newtown, CT. Starting the Parent Connection was never part of her plan. The issue of substance abuse became personal when her eldest son, Brian, became addicted and subsequently died at age 28 of a prescription drug overdose. Through the struggles caused by Brian's addiction, Dorrie became aware that this was an issue that affected many others in the community. She founded the Parent Connection in 1993 in an attempt to network with other concerned parents. It was the impetus behind many policy changes in town and within the schools.
Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is a committed body of volunteers who support our mission to keep our youth safe and substance free.
