Description and Services:

The Successful Parents Program helps parents to develop a stronger, healthier relationship with their pre-teens (8-12 years), in order to help them enjoy a smooth, positive transition to adulthood. Through a series of interactive workshops, we help parents to develop practical, effective communication skills with their pre-teens, helping them to support their children’s mental, emotional and physical growth.  Services include:

• 8-12 week course of parenting workshops in Spanish or Vietnamese. Two-hour workshop sessions are scheduled once per week; daytime and evening sessions are available.   Supervised activities are provided for all pre-teens attending workshops with their parents.  
• Optional monthly support groups (2 hours) in Spanish or Vietnamese for parents who have graduated from our parenting workshops. Supervised activities are also provided for all pre-teens attending support groups with their parents.
• Optional monthly support groups (1 hour) for pre-teens who have attended our workshops.  

Eligibility and Requirements:  Low-income Spanish-/Vietnamese-speaking parents with pre-teens ages 8-12 years. Because this is a skills building, interactive program, parents are required to attend each class session in a workshop series.
