Our Services

Parenting is one of the most challenging—and most rewarding—roles we can have. Our class is based on evidence-based practices that offer practical, effective solutions to everyday parenting challenges. 

In our parenting classes, you will learn how to: 

  • Build strong, positive relationships with your children 
  • Set and maintain healthy boundaries 
  • Communicate effectively at all parenting stages 
  • Implement effective discipline strategies 

Whether you’re raising a toddler or a teenager, there’s something here for you. 

Mental health matters—and we’re here to break the stigma. Our Mental Health First Aid Certification is available for businesses, educators, and community members. 

This valuable training helps participants: 

  • Recognize signs of a mental health crisis 
  • Offer initial support 
  • Connect individuals to appropriate resources 

Mental Health First Aid Training is a powerful way to build a more informed, compassionate, and supportive community. 

Protecting children is one of our top priorities. Our Body Safety Program is offered in schools up to 6th grade or in a one-on-one setting by request. This program focuses on empowering children to understand their rights and how to stay safe. 

Key topics include: 

  • Every child has the right to tell what happened 
  • How to identify safe and unsafe situations 
  • How to seek help from trusted adults 

These lessons reinforce the message that abuse is never a child’s fault and that they are never alone.
