We believe that family, however it is defined, is the basic social unit of society, and that healthy families build health communities.

The S.T.E.P. (Systematic Training in Effective Parenting) method is rooted in Adlerian psychology and was developed in the 1950s by Rudolph Dreikurs. The main tenets are mutual respect, encouragement and positive discipline and the workshops provide parents with practical tools to help raise capable children.

This workshop was also designed in collaboration with Dr. Martin Brokenleg's Circle of Courage model based on the principle that all youth need a sense of belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity.

• Theory and techniques for supporting teenagers as they experience intense transition from childhood to adulthood.
• Helping you build a toolkit as you navigate this potentially challenging journey with your teen.

• Provide support for you as a parent who may feel as if you are at your wit's end.
• Provide you as a parent with immediate support, techniques and understanding.
