How We Help

Parenting Support, an Alliance for Children program, helps parents gain a better understanding of their infants, toddlers and preschoolers as they grow, while teaching them self-worth and empowerment.

This program will help participating parents discover the importance of nurturing and how it affects others, as well as themselves.

Through self-awareness and skill-building activities, parents will:

  • increase empathy;
  • develop realistic expectations of children, appropriate family roles;
  • learn positive discipline practices.

What Parents Are Saying

  • This parenting class and my teacher was the best thing that could have happened. I feel different. I am strong. I am worthy. I feel repaired, rewired better than before. I can’t wait to one day give back. I want to be someone else’s Nicole. I too want to make a change in someone.

  • I want to say thank you for helping me learn new ways to control my behaviors and to discipline my kids with much more of a control not out of anger.
    Sarah, mom of 3, 11/20/2018
  • Between me and my children we have a greater bond, it was not easy doing everything by the book but it was sure worth it. Each session went by I started to enjoy the class more and more. I can automatically see the difference in all of us. We became closer and started communicating on a level I never knew existed.

  • I just wanted to thank you so much for everything you have been doing for us for teaching and helping us become better parents and change our family with so much positive through this hard time we had.
