Families First Parenting<br />
Programs builds positive<br />
relationships between<br />
parents and their<br />
children by educating<br />
both families and the<br />
professionals who serve<br />
them through inspiring,<br />
hands-on workshops.<br />
Our skilled workshop<br />
leaders stand beside<br />
parents and caregivers<br />
to lead them through the<br />
crucible of child rearing<br />
by transforming their<br />
experiences, doubts and<br />
fears into the knowledge<br />
and confidence they need<br />
to build positive discipline,<br />
communication, and selfesteem<br />
in families. Our<br />
training for professionals<br />
enhances their ability<br />
to better support and<br />
engage families. We help<br />
communities thrive by<br />
strengthening families first.<br />
