The YWCA Child Care Resource and Referral Department is providing FREE Nurturing Parenting Classes to help support all parents and caregivers in our community.
The Nurturing Parenting Program is instructed by our YWCA Parent Outreach Specialists. Our FREE Nurturing Parenting Class is a family-centered trauma-informed initiative designed to build nurturing parenting skills as an alternative to abusive and neglecting parenting and child-rearing practices. The long-term goals of these classes are to prevent recidivism in families receiving social services, lower the rate of multi-parent teenage pregnancies, reduce the rate of juvenile delinquency and alcohol abuse, and stop the intergenerational cycle of child abuse by teaching positive parenting behaviors.
“I am excited to be able to provide this new program to help support the families in our community,” said Nyree Haney. “We want to share our knowledge about how to create nurturing routines to promote a healthy family environment,” said Charlene Brady
The YWCA Child Care Resource and Referral Department will hold FREE Nurturing Parenting night classes starting on November 17, 2022 and ending on January 5, 2022.The classes are set up in 8-week sessions at the Toledo Lucas County Main Library from 6:00pm-8:00pm. Want to learn more? Please contact one of our Parent Outreach Specialists, Nyree Haney or Charlene Brady.
