Parent Education & Workshops
Practical, engaging learning for parents and the professionals who support them
Parent education through Guided Parenting Support - GPS® is designed for schools, community organizations, and workplaces that want to support parents with clear, developmentally-informed guidance they can actually use.
These experiences are structured and topic-based, while still being responsive to the needs of the audience. The goal isn’t to overwhelm parents with information — it’s to give them a grounded framework they can apply immediately and continue using as their children grow.
What to Expect
Parent education sessions are:
Practical and engaging
Research-informed and accessible
Non-judgmental and inclusive
Grounded in real-world parenting
Parents leave with:
A clearer understanding of what’s happening beneath behavior
Language and concepts they can return to under stress
Greater confidence in their parenting decisions
A framework that grows with their family
Think of parent education like a group fitness class: structured, energizing, and designed to build shared strength — with room for individual pacing and application.
Who This Is For?
Parent education programs are customized for:
Parents and caregivers
Schools, PTAs, and school communities
Libraries, community organizations, and family-serving nonprofits
Employers and organizations supporting working parents
While the audiences may differ, the foundation remains the same: protecting relationships, understanding development, and building skills that support long-term success.
