Keisha, a young mother of a toddler, had this to say about her experience in one of our 12-week Positive Parenting classes.

“Over the past three months I enjoyed taking the positive parenting classes. I knew from our very rst session this wasn’t going to be your typical “professional development” where you get some instructions or gain some new skills as a result of taking the class. What I didn’t know or quite anticipate was the community feeling and sense of belonging within the cohort. I felt as though each and every parent in the class was a member of my extended family. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed our lively discussions, the educational content, and the delivery from our fabulous instructor. I’ve personally grown in all phases when it comes to applying the core concepts and strategies to becoming an intentional parent raising a toddler who is the epitome of black excellence in the making. I highly recommend this class be taken by all parents, especially expecting parents, as this class would help new parents be better prepared and less stressed. Thank you, Family Paths and please keep bringing these classes to the community.”

Robert wanted to take control of his life.

Robert called Family Paths saying he wanted to “take control of his life” and calling our Helpline was his first step. He was “working but homeless” and had no custody or visitation rights for any of his children. He felt overwhelmed and needed support around steps he could take to improve the relationship with his co-parent and children, as well as how to navigate housing resources. Our Parent Support Counselor gave him resources to call and offered regular callbacks with our Fatherhood Specialist, who could meet him where he is as a dad.
