Nurturing Parents Community-Based Model
The evidence-based parenting training and support program is provided to parents who have adopted or are fostering children. The Nurturing Program for Parents has been designed to offer support to families with special needs children. The five constructs of the program include appropriate expectations of children, parental empathy, non-violent discipline, appropriate family roles, and a child’s need to develop independence and self-control. The overarching goal is to help parents improve their ability to nurture in each of the five constructs. Ten parent education sessions are offered addressing child development, appropriate discipline and parenting a child with special needs.
