Culturally-adapted parenting classes have been offered in 12-week cycles for families with children 0 to 18 years old. Parents/caregivers, children, and teens attended groups designed to promote healthy physical and emotional development, appropriate roles, and developmental expectations. Families enjoyed a warm meal and nurturing time together. Our Nurturing Parenting Program was designed to strengthen families through a focus in five areas:

• Building self-worth and appropriate expectations through an increased understanding of child development,
• Developing increased empathy and a sense of caring in parents and children,
• Utilizing positive, non-violent discipline practices and techniques,
• Exploring family roles and increasing self-awareness, and
• Developing personal power in both adults and children.
