Why The Parent Project® Works

The overwhelming majority of parents deeply love and care about their children. Unfortunately, for many high risk families, repeated frustrations and failures combined with the daily stresses of life often lead to feelings of helplessness. Parents may have given up because they felt success was unattainable.

The Parent Project® is an entirely new parent training model. It not only delivers new skills and insights, it rekindles hope. Parents attending Parent Project® classes have the opportunity to experience success at home within the first week.

The Parent Project® was developed over a ten year period while working with thousands of high-risk families. It is designed to revive parents desire, teach the skills and provide the practical and emotional support they need to change destructive adolescent behavior. It directly addresses some of the most serious questions we are asked again and again:

• My child refuses to go to school. How should I respond?

• What can I do when my child beats me up?

• How can I stop my son’s gang involvement?

• My fourteen-year-old is addicted to crack and prostituting to support her habit. How can I get her back?

The Parent Project® offers concrete, no-nonsense solutions. The straightforward, step- by-step action plans presented in the curriculum allow parents to take immediate steps toward preventing or intervening in their children’s negative choices.
