Family Strengthening Programs

Our Family & Parenting Programs are designed to strengthen families by supporting healthy parenting practices, positive co-parenting relationships, and active, responsible father involvement. Through evidence-based and supportive services, we help caregivers build the skills, confidence, and tools needed to create safe, stable, and nurturing environments for children.

These programs serve parents and caregivers at different stages of their family journey, including families experiencing transitions, court-involved parents, and those seeking long-term support to improve family relationships. Services are offered in a culturally responsive and trauma-informed manner, with a focus on accountability, communication, and the well-being of children.

Supporting Father Involvement

Topics Discussed:

Supporting Father Involvement is an inclusive initiative focused on empowering fathers to play an active, engaged role in their children's lives. Recognizing the crucial impact fathers have on their children's development, the program offers resources, support services, and community initiatives to strengthen father-child relationships.

This class supports fathers in co-parenting, reducing stress, and fostering positive communication with partners. Through peer support, fathers connect with others facing similar challenges, creating a strong network of encouragement, shared learning, and collaborative parenting—ultimately promoting healthier family dynamics and stronger bonds.

The Individual: Having a child changes people’s perceptions of themselves and their relationships in ways that often require re-examination, reflection, and adjustment.

Parent/Child Relationships: Involved fathers play a vital role in their children's development and overall well-being.

Three Generations: The intergenerational transmission of parenting styles across three generations.

The Individual (Stress & Strain): The "spillover" of stress and strain from work to family and vice versa; strategies for managing and coping with stress.

Parenting Skills: While genetics and child temperament influence development, parenting practices significantly shape a child's developmental progress and psychological adjustment.

The Couple: The couple as a parenting team—division of responsibilities and ways partners can support each other in their parenting roles.
