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 adults and children in the home.   This training is founded on 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 two adult parents / caregivers per family.

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.
