Our mission is to create safer, more resilient families by supporting them in developing the inner strengths, life skills, and networks of resources they need to succeed.Since its founding in 1982, Parenting Journey (formerly The Family Center), a nonprofit family services organization, has worked directly with families to provide strength-based, trauma-informed parent programming. While many parenting programs focus on child development and disciplinary techniques, the Parenting Journey helps parents become more aware of how they were parented, and how they are raising their own children. The Parenting Journey plays an integral role in identifying and breaking negative patterns of parenting practices and replacing them with healthy, strength-based approaches. Through an experiential process that involves non-judgmental support and coaching by group facilitators, they learn that they can solve problems, build and sustain trusting relationships, and seek help when necessary.In addition, the Parenting Journey has trained thousands of human service professionals in its evidence-based model. These trained facilitators, located across the nation and internationally, are able to share the Parenting Journey with more families, promoting parenting insight, decreasing parental stress, and increasing social support systems.
