Best Practices for Supporting the Academic and Personal Growth of Our Children: A 3-part group course for Parents & Caregivers

Do you lead a parent education program? Are you a family engagement coordinator or community partner for caregiver support? Or perhaps you are a PTA/PTO member in charge of parenting workshops?

Anyone working to support parents and caregivers, this course is for you!

“Most of parenting is bearing witness to struggle and fighting the temptation to intervene, because the only way young people develop resilience is by facing and overcoming pain and struggle.” – Dr. Brooklyn Raney

The primary mission of this training is a proactive approach to parenting and caregiving by focusing on our young people’s greatest protective factors: a healthy relationship with their parent or caregiver and a team of trusted adults in their corner. It’s Our Mission is designed to be facilitated for a gathering of parents and caregivers to provide a common language and understanding when it comes to supporting youth. The videos in this course address why this mission is so important right now along with specific best practices for ensuring we are doing everything we can to support the personal and academic growth of our children.

The It’s Our Mission program includes:

✔️3-module video program designed for group viewing
✔️Facilitator guide with discussion questions
✔️Participant reflection guide

How to Implement:

This video series can be easily facilitated for a group of parents or caregivers. Each video is approximately 15 minutes and can be viewed in one longer session or as three standalone sessions. Each video provides reflection prompts and cues to discuss together as a cohort or in small groups, along with ideas to bring this conversation back to your children.
