ParentWISE Education Classes

Wise parenting is not always easy. At times the responsibility and demands of being a parent or caregiver can be overwhelming even to the most experienced hands.

In difficult times, the ParentWISE Program is here to help. ParentWISE offers Wisdom, Insight, Support and Encouragement through an evidence-based curriculum to children, parents, families and communities to eliminate child abuse, neglect, and family and community violence. Having the opportunity to share the feelings and experiences with other parents can make raising a child more enjoyable. Supported and educated parents and caregivers make for stronger families and healthier communities.

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.

The ParentWISE program is available to assist parents, caregivers, educators, and behavioral health providers. Our services include:

• Classes that help with the challenges of parenting
