Parent Support

The Parent Support program serves parents, grandparents and caregivers of children ages birth through 18 offering classes using evidence-based programs. Individuals are able to gain confidence through the parenting skills and ideas they learn in classes. Relationship building, communication skills, emotional and physical self-control are addressed as well as face-to-face crisis intervention and phone support tools which help to deescalate negative parental actions, keeping children safe. Families are referred to the program with a wide range of needs and concerns including possible out of home placement of children, often leaving grandparents as caregivers.

Our Parent Support program works to educate and empower parents and the in home caregiver to develop positive relationships within their home and family.
