"There are no чужих children": a family forum on support and parenting will be held in Kirov.

      The forum was conceived as a space where parents can receive support, and children can feel attention and care. Over time, it has grown into a platform that brings together representatives from various agencies, the expert community, and families for whom the topic of conscious parenting is becoming increasingly significant. At the forefront of the forum was the regional coordinator of the "Strong Family" project, Susanna Anikitsina-Yungblud. According to her, the idea was originally built around a simple and important principle: "We wanted to create a space where parents do not feel alone with their questions. Where they can calmly talk about difficult things and receive support." Today, this approach remains unchanged. The forum maintains its key task — to create an atmosphere of trust and open dialogue. "It is important for us that every child feels joy, and every adult feels understanding and confidence. Because there are truly no strangers' children," notes Susanna Anikitsina-Yungblud. One of the central parts of the program will be professional support for parents. Specialists from various fields — from psychologists to lawyers — will work in one space. Consultations will take place in an accessible format: questions can be asked anonymously, in a relaxed environment. This format is particularly in demand, as many issues related to upbringing, family relationships, and legal protection require not only competent answers but also a delicate approach. Special attention is given to the family program. As part of the forum, there will be a performance of "Brother Fox and Brother Rabbit" (6+) — a classic story that unites generations. Watching the theatrical performance together becomes not just leisure but an opportunity for dialogue within the family. The forum is conducted with the participation of a wide range of state and public institutions, including law enforcement agencies, relevant ministries and departments, guardianship authorities, as well as regional organizations working with families and children. The organizer is the John the Theologian Charitable Foundation with the support of the "Strong Family" party project of the "United Russia" party. The forum will take place on March 28 at 10:30 at the Kirov Regional Drama Theater at the address: Moskovskaya Street, 37. As the organizers emphasize, this is not only about consultations and a program of events but also about creating an environment where issues of childhood and family become a common cause.
