ParentWISE Education Classes

Wise parenting is not always easy. At times, the responsibility and demands of being a caregiver can be overwhelming. The ParentWISE Program is here to help. ParentWISE offers Wisdom, Insight, Support and Encouragement through evidence-based curricula to children, parents, families and communities to eliminate child abuse, neglect, and family and community violence.

Our hope is that by supporting parents and caregivers, they will feel more confident in their roles as nurturing adults to the benefit of their children and the communities in which they live.  ParentWISE serves families and caregivers of all ethnicities, races, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, religions, cultures, and family compositions.

• Classes that help with the challenges of parenting
