Absolutely fantastic! I have personally reached out to my case worker to recommend the group to other parents who are struggling or would like additional assistance. The group was so informative and uplifting. I looked forward to the class every week. I loved how I got different perspectives from both leaders and other group members.

It has been very helpful to have support both from the leaders and from parents who have similar struggles in parenting. It very much is a safe place to reexamine parenting as a whole.

The group and skills really shine a light on the areas you want to grow in as a parent

I’ve learned to really butter up on the praise. I’ve even found myself praising my husband but we all need praise in our lives. I’ve learned to stop and pause (especially after getting home from work), giving the kids physical touch like cuddles, a head rub, or shoulder touch, and getting down to their level. I feel more mindful/conscious and will be using the binder materials as a reference to look back to. I’ve incorporated and increased the use of incentives and use it a lot more. Each week I’ve taken something away.
