ABOUT PARENTS HELPING PARENTS: Parents Helping Parents runs a network of support groups for parents who want to improve relationships with their children. Parents come to our Support Groups seeking encouragement and feedback on parenting-related issues. Shared leadership, trust, respect, responsibility, and positive parenting are key components of our Support Groups. Our groups provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for creating positive and caring peer relationships. Our approach is preventative; once the emotional support of the parent has been strengthened, a parent is better able to actively guide and nurture their family.
