The Parent Project:

• empowers parents, reduces family conflict and improves the parent-child relationship
• intervenes in adolescent drug abuse, improves school performance, reduces gang and other poor peer associations
• brings lasting, positive behavioral changes.

What do parents learn?

• What things children and youth equate with love
• Trust is earned
• Parents control things, not children!

During the first six weeks, parents meet together once a week for three hours to problem solve and learn how to approach problems with their children. The focus during the last six weeks is on using the skills learned in the previous weeks and convening to discuss what works and what doesn't.
