something they must add to their list of
responsibilities. As people live longer and
families become more spread out, meeting
those needs can get increasingly challenging.
Professional services available through

older relative may be — and find the
resources to meet them — no matter where
in the country your family member lives.

NATIONAL CHILD CARE NETWORK
For working parents, finding quality child
care can be a major concern year-round.
To help parents feel comfortable on the job
knowing that their children are well cared
for, the NTC offers the National Child
Care Network.
The network has qualified more than
2,000 child care centers around the U.S.,
and new centers are added regularly. Most
of the centers are part of well-known
national chains, and all are continuously
monitored for program quality.
In most communities with Daimler-
Chrysler facilities, priority slots are
reserved for children of UAW-represented
workers, and the slots come with a 10 percent
tuition discount. The program is open
to children 2 1 /2 to 12 years old. For a list of
participating child care centers, visit www
.uawdcx.com or call 877.NTC.CIRCLE.
ASK THE EXPERT
Ask the Expert brings social workers, geriatric
care specialists, employee assistance
professionals and other professionals to
DaimlerChrysler facilities for free face-toface
consultations with UAW-represented
workers on some 150 work-life topics. If
you’re interested in having an expert come

Training Facilitator. ■
