Parents Together

ParentsTogether is a modified self-help group for parents experiencing conflict with their teen. The members offer encouragement and support while parents develop and strengthen new skills to meet the challenges in raising teenagers today. Parents realize that they are not alone in their caring, concern, or efforts to promote change and maintain healthy relationships in the family.

Parenting Without Power Struggles

At Parenting Without Power Struggles, parents of children aged 9-13 years can strengthen and gain new understanding and skills in communication, pre-teen development, boundary setting, and self-care. The weekly meetings provide information, support, and encouragement for parents of pre-teens. Parenting Without Power Struggles recognizes that families come in many different forms yet face similar challenges when raising pre-teens in the world today.
