Good parenting creates healthier families, stronger communities, and a safer world for all of us.
PARENTING REDEFINED
Parenting Redefined is a prevention-based workshop series designed to empower parents, guardians, and impactful adults with the tools to raise emotionally healthy kids in an overwhelming world.
Recent research indicates that nearly 1 in 5 U.S. parents experiences mental health issues annually, and 48% report feeling completely overwhelmed most days.* It’s time for a new approach to parenting that allows parents room to breath!
Happier parents equals:
• Lower childhood depression rates
• Improved classroom social skills
• Higher test scores
• Reduced truancy
• Higher graduation rates
• Lower crime rates
• Safer streets and schools
• HAPPIER KIDS!
Trauma-Informed Parenting
The transformational Parenting Redefined workshop series equips adults with powerful tools to break generational cycles of trauma, model emotional resilience, and raise thriving children. Rooted in the Redefining Love framework—Boundaries, Accountability, and Grace—this program goes beyond behavior management to create lasting change in families and communities. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about parenting on purpose.
