Parents learn and the community benefits!
Leading parenting groups is a great experience! You’re not just helping parents—you’re helping children, teachers and other members of your community by strengthening families. We’ve heard many amazing stories about the positive changes that occur after parents are shown the skills they need to communicate effectively with their children and others.

Be a confident group leader

We’ll show you how to use our popular video-based programs to make your classes entertaining and filled with practical parenting skills that parents can start using immediately.

By participating in group discussion led by a certified parent education trainer, you will discover how to address the specific needs of your group. Plus, you’ll learn presentation techniques that will help you become a more effective facilitator.
