Parenting Skills Classes
Description
Provides education and support for a diverse population of parents and caregivers of children ages 0-12 across Western New York. Parent Education and Support Groups use the evidence-based Incredible Years curriculum, designed to strengthen parent-child interactions, improve children's social and emotional competence, increase school readiness, and reduce behavioral issues and related harsh discipline.
12-14 week sessions are delivered by trained Community Liaisons in a variety of languages including Arabic, Burmese, Dari, Rohingya, Spanish, Swahili, Tigrinya, and Ukrainian. These groups offer parents and caregivers an opportunity to share, learn, and connect with one another to discuss challenges, problem-solve, learn how to build healthier family relationships, and promote more successful social, emotional, and academic outcomes for their children.
Also provides home visiting services to support New American families in understanding their rights and responsibilities as parents in the US and to help navigate the challenges of raising children in a new country.
