In-Home Parent Education
These unique in-home parent education programs are effective because it allows customized lessons to parents in their homes. 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.
