Families First Parenting Programs builds positive relationships between parents and their children by educating both families and the professionals who serve them through inspiring, hands-on workshops. Our skilled workshop leaders stand beside parents and caregivers to lead them through the crucible of child rearing by transforming their experiences, doubts and fears into the knowledge and confidence they need to build positive discipline, communication, and self-esteem in families. Our training for professionals enhances their ability to better support and engage families. We help communities thrive by strengthening families first. Read about Families First
Over 90% of our Workshops are Grant Supported
We depend on contributions from caring people like you to help subsidize our programs for parents needing financial assistance. Our commitment to serving parents of all backgrounds frequently presents us with an opportunity to help parents dealing with abuse, homelessness, addiction, and a wide range of other challenging circumstances.

What does identity mean for young people who have dozens of online profiles and avatars? What lies ahead—socially, professionally, and psychologically—for this generation?
