What is an Overdose Prevention Center? Are they effective? Is one coming to Burlington? This workshop will explore these questions and more.

There has been a lot of talk in the Burlington area recently about Overdose Prevention Centers. But what exactly is an OPC? What would Burlington’s OPC offer? Why Burlington? What are the anticipated community impacts of an OPC?

As a parent, what do I need to know about and should I be concerned? Join Dad Guild and Bella Fearn of VT Harm Reduction Advocates for a Workshop & Town Hall event to learn more about Overdoes Prevention Centers and the impact they have on communities. Bella will explain how OPCs work, share some data, and create an opportunity for caregivers to ask questions and voice their thoughts. This learning opportunity on Wednesday, January 28th from 7pm-8:30pm is available to all caregivers in the community.

DROP IN

Join us on the second Sunday of every month from 3:30pm - 5pm for a low-key playgroup at the Fletcher Free Library in Burlington. We’ll be in the kids’ section, most likely sprawled out on the floor somewhere, attempting to have conversations with one another while our kids have other plans. Come with low expectations and you won’t leave disappointed.

Young boys are making headlines these days, and the reasons aren’t that positive. Fewer boys are enrolling in college, many are struggling with isolation and addiction, and there are a lot of problematic messages out there telling boys they need to act tough and “suck it up.” What is the manosphere, and how do parents differentiate between positive and negative online spaces? What impact may the world have on our sons as they move through adolescence?

Join us for this evening for town-hall conversation led by author Kate Mangino

The Toast & Jams family concerts have been our biggest events attendance-wise. Last year was so popular we started to run up to the fire code limit at Contois Auditorium in Burlington City Hall.  Naturally, having such a huge turnout is a wonderful “problem” to have.

So this year, Toast & Jams is heading to Higher Ground! That’s right, we’ll be toasting and jamming at one of the main music venues in the area! We have the dates and musical guests lined up, so mark your calendars:

Saturday, January 3, 2025 - Los Sóngoros
Saturday, February 14, 2025 - Chris Dorman
Saturday, March 14, 2025 - Lazer Dad

Doors open at 10:00 AM and - like years past - will have 9 holes of free mini golf from the Portable Mini Golf Company along with all you can eat sourdough toast and jams from Miss Weinerz.

This year we ask families to register in advance so we don't have to turn people away due to capacity constraints. Tickets are available by donation on the Higher Ground website, with families being asked to pay what they can.
