Parenting Skills
Our various approaches to parenting skills are based on our assessments of the family’s dynamics and relatiosnhip building techniques. We offer parenting skills classes on an individual basis in both English and Spanish.
Levels of Interventions:
1. Education-Prevention: (Primary Prevention)
Education-prevention programs are designed to empower individuals and families with new knowledge, beliefs, strategies and skills to make good and healthy lifestyle choices. The goal of prevention-education is to empower. Programs at this level are generally short-term approximately 5 to 12 sessions.
2. Prevention-Intervention: (Secondary Prevention)
Prevention-intervention programs are designed for parents and families experiencing mild to moderate levels of individual and family dysfunction.
Programs in this range work on stopping the dysfunctional and engaging individual and families in the process of building positive nurturing beliefs, knowledge and skills.
These programs are generally from 12-20 sessions depending on assessed needs. Individual and families are requested to go through an assessment.
3. Intervention Treatment: (Tertiary Prevention)
Intervention-Treatment programs are designed for families referred for parenting education by Social Services / Mental Health for child abuse and neglect and/or family dysfunction.
Tertiary level programs “treat” abusive and neglecting parent-child or parent-teen dysfunctional interactions through a process call “re-parenting”. In re-parenting, parents increase their understanding of the abuse and neglect they experienced as children and how to parenting beliefs and patterns where passed on to their children.
Old, hurtful patterns are replaced with newer, nurturing patterns.
Intervention program are generally referred as long term programs and generally 15 to 25 sessions or longer depending on assessed needs of the family.
The Nurturing Programs are:
Evidence-based programs recognized by the National Registry for Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NERPP).
Competency-based programs designed to correspond to the development age level of children.
Family focused programs involving parents, grandparents, children, teens and other extended family members, when appropriate.
