PART 1
LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR CHANGE
During the first 6 units, parents receive 18 hours of instructions in an educational setting. The Parent Project combines multimedia instruction, small group practice, problem solving and collective learning experiences to facilitate lasting change.
|
PART 2
CHANGING BEHAVIOR & IMPROVING THE PARENT/CHILD RELATIONSHIP
After completing Part One, parents continue for 10 units in a structured parent group with trained facilitators. These topic-focused groups promote maximum effective use of group time while providing parents with practical and emotional support as they begin the difficult process of change. Parents are encouraged to build a network with other parents to continue meeting and offering support for one another after the class has been completed |
