We offer parenting education, support groups, and developmental screenings for preschool-aged children at our Family Resource Center (FRC) in Lynn, Chelsea, and via ZOOM during COVID for our families. Our parent support groups are taught in both Spanish and Khmer, which help combat social isolation, connect parents to community resources, and emphasize peer learning and peer leadership.

Our parenting workshops consist of the Incredible Years and Parenting Journey evidence-based curricula. The Incredible Years course is a comprehensive, multifaceted, and developmentally based curricula with workshops developed by age groups: Infants (0-12 months), Toddlers (13 mo. to 3 years), Early Childhood (3-6 year olds), and School Readiness (3-6 year olds).

The 8-12 week curriculum (length depends on ZOOM or in-person) is designed to help parents increase their self-care practices, raise awareness of past and present factors that influence their parenting styles, and enhance their parenting skills to build nurturing family relationships. Home-based parenting support is also offered through multiple programs, including our evidence-based Parents as Teachers (PAT) and Healthy Families programs.
