For Parents

Parent-Child Groups

Programs that have a Parent-Child Component such as the Bright Beginning and Personal Best Groups allow both children and parents to build resilience through graded mastery experiences and mutual support. The four modules focus on managing stress, parenting beliefs, communication and problems-solving skills and family self-sufficiency. The curriculum supports a two generation approach to service delivery that focuses on adult development in addition to child development and the parent-child relationship.

Family Support Group

Participants engage in a psycho-educational curriculum to enhance communication and psychosocial coping, increase knowledge and perception of harm, and improve school behavior. Over 12 sessions, the curriculum aimed to achieve these outcomes through an overall decrease in family and community-based stress by focusing on acculturative stress.

Parenting Journey

Parenting Journey is a unique evidence-informed curriculum that is a strength-based approach.  Although parents might not yet have the relationship with their children that they would like, together we identify and build on their strengths to develop a loving yet firm style of parenting based on mutual respect and love.  Self-reflection – Parenting is an art to be learned, yet many parents aspire to raise their children in a different manner from how they themselves were raised. Our programs invite participants to reflect on their own family history, to identify unhealthy practices they may have learned growing up or experienced as children, and then to break those habits, providing an opportunity to start fresh and create a new, strong family foundation on which to build.

Child-Parent Psychotherapy

CPP is an intervention model for children aged 0-5 who have experienced at least one traumatic event and/or are experiencing mental health, attachment, and/or behavioral problems, including posttraumatic stress disorder. The treatment is based in attachment theory but also integrates psychodynamic, developmental, trauma, social learning, and cognitive behavioral theories. Therapeutic sessions include the child and parent or primary caregiver. The primary goal of CPP is to support and strengthen the relationship between a child and his or her caregiver as a vehicle for restoring the child's cognitive, behavioral, and social functioning. Treatment also focuses on contextual factors that may affect the caregiver-child relationship
