Empowered to Parent

Children are our greatest asset.  When children experience a relationship-based hurt, mending the brokenness can only come through a nurturing relationship.  Empowered to Parent (ETP) offers caregivers the opportunity to develop skills necessary to bring healing relationships to children.   This training is founded in the principles of Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) of the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development.  Be a part of changing a child's developmental trajectory.  

Caregiver / Parent Training

Change is best experienced in a child's home environment under the care of loving caregivers.  ETP is a multi-session caregiver training intensive designed to equip caregivers in skills useful for transforming a child's journey.  Summer classes include training for the parents / caregivers, with a therapeutic child's group taking place simultaneously.  (Ages for children’s group vary and is limited to create a therapeutic environment).

Volunteer

Our buddies are a vital part of a child's success in this training.  Each child is assigned a personal buddy to participate in activities each week.  Buddies serve as role models and coaches through playful, engaging activities.  Buddies are expected to be present for all sessions so that a child is never without their buddy.  There is no cost to be involved.   For the protection and integrity of this training, Buddies must agree to a background check and sign a confidentiality statement.  Click below to get started.
