We also have a parent aide program, which offers support on a one on one basis for parents and their children. We offer a weekly nurturing program for parents and their children. On occasion we are asked to speak at various locations on child abuse (how to prevent it, how to spot is, etc. ) and other parental issues. We also offer a Parents Anonymous group that gathers together weekly for group discussion and support. This group allows parents to determine topic discussed base on their needs. For all of our programs, child care is provided.
