Parent Empowerment Program

“Stop trying to perfect your child, but keep trying to perfect your relationship with him.” Dr. Henker
“It is better to bind your children to you by a feeling of respect and by gentleness, than by fear.” Terence
“Your children will become what you are; so be what you want them to be.” David Bly

Our Parent Empowerment Program provides education and support for parents and families in group settings. The group setting permits interaction and team problem-solving allowing parents to build on and learn from the strengths of all.
Form your own group (example: Mothers, school, church) and hold a program on the parenting topic of your choice at a convenient community location or at the L.K. Painter Community Center.
Or, join us at the L.K. Painter Community center for one of our regularly scheduled programs. Courses vary in length from 3 to 7 weeks with each session presented in a 2-hour video/discussion interactive format.
