Parenting Classes

General Overview

Parenting class sessions, which are taught using the Systematic Training For Effective Parenting (STEP) Curriculum, are held every week for 8 weeks.

​

During class, parents learn skills on how to raise self-confident, motivated children by establishing healthy control without resorting to anger. Parents are also given the tools to help build relationships by providing guidelines for establishing both empathy, respect, and dignity between themselves and their children. 

 

Parents are given a safe space where they can find community while improving in all aspects of their parenting.
