"What We Need to Know: Parenting Obstacles," a Core Character Family Advocates workshop for nonprofits, $50/person for the first four participants from one organization, then $40/each. There are innumerable nonprofit organizations that focus on helping families be better and have more. Core Character Family Advocates designs programs for children and families and to go through sessions that show “how” to parent positively by giving examples and training on safe and appropriate discipline and anger control. Many programs focus either on improvement within the academic and social settings or intervention directly between parents and children, often court ordered, to prevent violence or disorderly conduct. Still some other programs look at rehabilitation in the case of substance abuse. Each year, more organizations are birthed, yet the problems, especially in our marginalized and at-risk communities continue to exist and oftentimes even escalate. This workshop takes a look at eight Parenting Obstacles which that can adversely impact positive and successful parenting and family dynamics that nonprofit organizations need to understand and address.
