Parenting for Prevention
Parenting for Prevention increases the availability of parenting classes. Two ten-week sessions are held to provide parents information and to help develop parenting skills necessary to raising healthy children and decreasing the risk of child abuse and neglect. Class topics center around understanding child development, developing positive family communications, building positive social and emotional skills in both parent and child (responsiveness, sensitivity, nurturing), discipline and appropriate behavior management, and promoting self-reliance by making available information about existing community services such as Parents as Teachers, Early Head Start, Circle of Parents, Success by Six and others.
