The Nurturing Parenting Programs are a family-centered trauma-informed initiative designed to build nurturing parenting skills as an alternative to abusive and neglecting parenting and child-rearing practices. The Nurturing Parenting Programs are designed to meet the family’s needs based on their parenting strengths and weaknesses.

Instructors of the Nurturing Programs gather information from families in order to learn more about them. Our trained facilitators will tailor the sessions based on the initial assessment completed by each participant. Assessments will gather information about participants’ current life conditions, their childhood, their relationship with their partner, their relationship with their children, how much they already know about parenting, and the beliefs they have about raising children. The Family Resource Network strongly encourages participants to complete this assessment prior to the first meeting if possible.

What to expect if you participate in the Nurturing Parenting Series:

  • The Nurturing Programs are family based interventions where parents and their children learn similar knowledge and skills for improving the quality of their lives.
  • Built in assessment strategies allow facilitators and parents to chart the course of their successes.
  • The flexibility within the structure of the programs allows facilitators to ensure the specific needs of families are being met.
  • The nurturing philosophy of non-violent parenting focuses on the development of empathy, self-worth, self-awareness, empowerment, discipline with dignity, appropriate family roles and age-appropriate expectations of children’s development.
  • This six session course is geared towards families raising children from birth through 11 years old.
