What is Parenting in America?
It is a 12-week group that helps parents and caregivers who are newcomers to the United States, take better care of themselves, gain new skills to raise children, and develop strong relationships with their children.

The program helps parents to:

• Discover your strengths as a person and as a parent
• Become more assertive in advocating for yourself and your children
• Increase self-respect and self-esteem
• Learn to trust, hope and forgive
• Learn to handle negative thoughts
• Set personal goals for your children
• Discover your community support circles
• Understand how the past influences the way of being a parent or caregiver
• Develop skills to protect, teach, love and care for their children

During the program, you will meet other parents who are struggling to solve the same problems as you. You will work with a trained group facilitator who will guide you in the task of being a parent or caregiver in the United States. Child care and full meals are provided for each participant and their children.
