Parenting Support

Despite the fact that your kids may indicate the contrary, despite media and social media influences, despite the influence of friends, research clearly and consistently demonstrates that parents are the most powerful influencer of their children's behaviors. But parenting can be tough. Alliance for Youth offers FREE resources, classes and online support for a variety of parenting topics.

Nurturing Parenting Class

Nurturing Parenting (NP) is an evidence-based program designed to improve parents’ understanding of the needs of their children and improve appropriate parent responses to meet their children’s needs. Service provision encompasses parents with children ages 0-12 years. The program incorporates visually-based teaching methodologies, reflective dialogue (provider-parent), social support networks, accountability, and observed and coached “practice” in application of newly learned skills. NP is accomplished through a combination of 12 facilitated, group education/skill building sessions and 1-5 individual skill building sessions. The number of individual sessions is based upon parent-child needs.
