Family Resilience

(Parent & Family Support)

positive parenting… plus!

Being a parent isn’t always easy… how we parent our children impacts their health, ability in school, and future success in life. Most parents regardless of race, culture, or financial situations are affected by daily demands, time limitations, and stress in general. We can easily become overwhelmed.

Positive Parenting… Plus! uses evidence-based and evidence-informed curriculum and methods to offer information, emotional support, skill building, and personal insights. This helps moms, dads, or other family caregivers be the best parents possible!

Co-Parenting

Co-parenting can be challenging because it requires two people with different perspectives, parenting styles, and emotions to work together in raising their child. Even with the best intentions, navigating schedules, decision-making, and maintaining a respectful partnership can be difficult, especially when emotions are high.

At the heart of it, the challenge lies in balancing personal differences while keeping the child’s well-being as the top priority. Our Family Coaches can help co-parents navigate this transition!
