Parenting Support Services

Parenting Support Services is a free, in-home parenting education program. The program serves families with children 0-18 years of age. Two evidence-based curriculums are utilized to support and enhance positive family functioning.

The Positive Parenting Program helps parents become effective problem solvers and be able to create a positive and safe home and learning environment.

The 5 Positive Parenting Principles:

1. Creating a safe and interesting environment for children
2. Creating a positive learning environment
3. Using assertive (rather than coercive) discipline
4. Taking care of yourself as a parent
5. Having realistic developmental expectations

Circle of Security aims to build, support, strengthen parents’ relationship capabilities to become better equipped to provide a relationship that is supportive of a secure attachment. 

The Circle of Security principles are based on:

1. The quality of the relationship with the child shapes the child’s development and  behavior
2. Parents and other attachment figures have innate wisdom and desire for their children to be safe and secure
3. Parents and other attachment figures struggle without a coherent roadmap of their children’s needs
4. Supporting reflection on the strength and struggles allows parents and other attachment figures to make new choices in the direction of security

• A decrease in their child's behavior problems
