Parenting Education and Support Program
The Family Program assists parents of children under the age of six to find the help they need to address parenting challenges. We will help parents assess their family situation as well as provide education, intervention, support and the opportunity for parents to practice their newly-developed skills.
The Family Program is designed to help parents of young children develop a nurturing, safe, and positive environment for their children. Our team provides education on basic parenting skills, principles of child development and effective discipline. The Family Program promotes healthy parent-child relationship building and communication. With staff support and guidance, we can help parents learn and practice new skills to transform their family life. Since each family situation is different we encourage families to develop the strengths and resources needed to face their unique challenges.
Some of the services we offer include:
Assessments of parenting skills and abilities
Parent support, education and intervention
Individual sessions focusing on parenting and related issues
Opportunities for parents to practice newly learned skills
Assistance in building a healthy parent & child relationship using play
Introducing and demonstrating child-centered activities that promote development
Providing information and instruction in the areas of basic positive parenting skills, child development, positive discipline, health and safety, and more
A variety of resources and tools for parents to utilize to enhance their parenting skills
Assistance in making connections to community resources
