Nurturing Parenting / Nurturing Fathers Program

We offer a parent education program using the Nurturing Parenting Program, an evidence-based and research-validated program, for the treatment and prevention of child abuse. Participants are usually court-ordered to attend by the Department of Children and Families.  Groups are held in English and Spanish for adults and children in the evenings, or on Saturdays, in an effort to rebuild the family unit and increase parents’ nurturing skills. 

The Nurturing Fathers Program is geared towards the prominent male in the child’s life.  It may be the biological father, stepfather, grandfather, uncle, boyfriend or caregiver.  The program teaches men how to become more involved in their child’s life, form a  strong and loving bond, discipline with love, and do things together.  This program operates in Lee County.
