The Nurturing Parenting Programs are a family-centered trauma-informed initiative designed to build nurturing parenting skills as an alternative to abusive and neglecting parenting and child-rearing practices.

Nurturing Parenting Programs target all families at risk for abuse and neglect with children birth to 18 years old.

Families with preschool-aged children
Families can attend group-based programs, home-based programs, or a combination of group and home-based sessions.

The long-term goals are to prevent recidivism in families receiving social services, lower the rate of multi-parent teenage pregnancies, reduce the rate of juvenile delinquency and alcohol abuse, and stop the intergenerational cycle of child abuse by teaching positive parenting behaviors.
