In-Home Parent Education
These unique in-home parent education programs are effective because they provide personalized lessons tailored to each family’s needs right in the comfort of their own home.
After a new parenting skill is taught and discussed, home practice exercises are assigned to strengthen family relationships and increase life skills. Our goal is to prevent and alleviate the risk of child abuse and neglect while strengthening family relationships and increasing life skills.
