Louisiana Parent Training and Information Center (LaPTIC) houses a part-time parent facilitator in each of the nine Families Helping Families Resource Centers located in each region of the state. This community-based location enables families to receive assistance from a local facilitator who is knowledgeable about local resources as well as federal and state regulations. Bebe Bode is the LaPTIC Coordinator and is housed in the New Orleans office. Bebe has worked with the project for three years and coordinates statewide activities.
