Parents Empowering Families & Communities

Seminars 

We offer practical seminars for parents and adolescents.  The topics are wide and varied; ranging from child sexual assault and abuse to financial management.  

Not only do we aspire to educate and empower families, we want our seminars to serve as a catalyst for extended and continuous dialogue amongst parents and between parents and adolescents.  Oftentimes, the topics we cover are not covered in the classroom or the home.

Our seminars are lead by knowledgeable professionals who are passionate about their subjects and eager to impart information to others.  Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and share their experiences.

Together, we can "build strong, healthy families & communities."

Parent & Adolescent Seminars

Parent Seminars

Our parent seminars are designed to help parents improve their parenting skills and provide them with valuable resources.  Parents do not have to reinvent the wheel or function in isolation.  Parents receive the following benefits from our seminars:

1. Networking - Parents meet other parents who are experiencing the same challenges.  Whatever you are currently going through, others are experiencing the same.
2. Education - Parents receive guidance from quality professionals.  Gaining knowledge increases and enhances your parenting skills.  When you know better, you do better.
3. Sharing - Parents learn from one another by sharing their experiences.  Each one, teach one.
4. Resources - Parents receive information about valuable resources.  Knowing where to go and who to call for assistance is a tremendous asset to families.

Adolescent Seminars

Our adolescent seminars are designed to provide youth with basic life skills and the knowledge required to successfully transition into adulthood. 

Seminar topics include (but are not limited to) financial management, dating/relationships, preparing for college, and peer pressure.

Adolescence can be a difficult time for teens and parents.  Both are experiencing change.  Teens crave more independence while parents are learning how to let go.

Teenagers must become independent in order to become young adults, just as they had to learn to walk and talk to grow from infancy to childhood.

Although many teens are eager to leave home and explore the world autonomously; oftentimes, they are unprepared for the realities that await them.

Finding and maintaining a job, paying bills on time, obtaining and furnishing their first home, and creating and maintaining healthy relationships - independence can be a big undertaking!

Adolescents receive the following benefits from our seminars:

1. Networking - Adolescents meet other youth who are experiencing the same challenges.  Whatever your adolescent is going through, it is important for them to know they are not alone.
2. Education - Adolescents learn from quality professionals.  Our presenters are accustomed to working with youth and possess the necessary skills to relate to them and their unique needs.  The information provided empowers youth to make wise choices.
3. Sharing - Adolescents learn from one another by sharing their experiences.  Each one, teach one.
4. Resources - Adolescents receive information about valuable resources.  Youth are encouraged to share the information with others, particularly their parents.
