Nurturing Families Program

The Nurturing Families Program® is a family-centered initiative focused on preventing and reducing child abuse and neglect. This program invites parents with children from birth to 18 years old to participate in group-based sessions, offering competency-based lessons that ensure parents learn and master essential skills.

Nurturing Families results as of September 2024

The Nurturing Families Program achieves success when 70% of parents demonstrate meaningful growth through pre- and post-test assessments, reflecting their progress and improved parenting skills.

  • 43 out of 53 parents (81%) achieved this target, showcasing their impressive progress and the program’s effectiveness.

70% of parents will, therefore, demonstrate positive behavior changes in at least two of the three key pillars: confidence, opportunities, and relationships, as outlined below:

  • Confidence—Empowering oneself to assert needs and desires, employing positive coping strategies, and curbing impulsive behaviors.
  • Opportunities—Pursuing additional education or job training by enrolling in programs or college, and actively seeking and securing employment.
  • Relationships—This involves fostering healthier interactions and communications with family and others, while simultaneously showcasing strong social skills.
  • 51 out of 53 parents (96%) reached this milestone, highlighting their exceptional progress and the transformative impact of the program.

This is by far the best parenting class I have taken. I’m thankful for the opportunity I’ve learned so much more about myself as a parent and how to handle situations instead of just basic parenting skills. I’ve learned to stand up for myself and make better decisions for my children.  I’ve been so encouraged by this program it truly is a blessing.” ~ M. Babb
