Parenting Skills Classes
Description
A 12-week evidence-based program that assists families in developing foundational skills to increase their competency in parenting through educational groups and supportive individual weekly phone check-ins with parents. Program teaches and empowers parents to create a healthy, safe, and nurturing environment in which children can experience optimal growth and development. Parents learn how their behavior impacts their child's well-being and sense of self. Curriculum focuses on communication, parent/child relationship and bonding, appropriate discipline, and more. Also focuses on meeting the special needs of children with more severe behavioral and emotional difficulties.
Class facilitators are certified in the "Incredible Years" model and engage parents in understanding their child's developmental, behavioral, emotional, physical, and social needs. Classes are currently offered virtually for 1.5 hours each week. Certificates of attendance are provided to participants who complete the program.
