Parenting Works! provides workshops and in-home parent education to empower parents with up-to-date, research-based information and community resources.  Parent education gives parents the opportunity to clarify their parenting goals and philosophy, create action plans and monitor progress toward specific family outcomes.  Services are designed for families with infants through adolescents.  

All parent education aims to build skills and strengthen families by improving parent-child relationships.  This strength-based approach builds on the existing values of your family.  Commitment to participating in the service of parent coaching enables parents to add to their parenting toolbox and receive support in their approach.  Parent education helps families utilize the most effective parenting techniques and increases your ability to reach your full potential in parenthood. 



Parenting workshops provide a forum for parents to acquire information which enhances the quality of parenting as well as opportunities for parents to establish a parenting support network. 

Home-based parent consultation offers families one-on-one guidance to address specific concerns, while providing support with implementation.  


All services allow families to reduce stress and increase parent effectiveness, resulting in a more enjoyable experience for parents AND children!
