CLASS STRUCTURE
PART ONE – LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR CHANGE
During the first 6 units, parents receive 18 hours of instructions in an educational setting. The Parent Project combines multimedia instruction, small group practice, problem solving and collective learning experiences to facilitate lasting change.
PART TWO – CHANGING BEHAVIOR & IMPROVING THE PARENT/CHILD RELATIONSHIP
After completing Part One, parents continue for 10 units in a structured parent group with trained facilitators. These topic-focused groups promote maximum effective use of group time while providing parents with practical and emotional support as they begin the difficult process of change. Parents are encouraged to build a network with other parents to continue meeting and offering support for one another after the class has been completed.
