Did you know?
Parenting is a learned skill. It is also an occupation. And as the work world has taught us, the better our knowledge and skills, the better our outcomes. If you are seeking the best for your children, let IPI's experienced professional Parent Educators help you get there.
Why Parenting Education?
To become and remain effective, people need training. Even caregivers (parents).
Caregiving is both a learned skill and a dynamic enterprise. It is affected daily by new, uncharted influences. To best manage this influx of new technologies, new norms, and new information, care-giving (like all learned skills) needs regular updating to remain relevant and productive. Parenting (or Family) education is the vehicle for accomplishing this.
Yet, research shows that most parents are unaware of the modern parenting practices available to assist with their childrearing issues because they've never even considered a parenting class.
As a result, research further shows that most child abuse and neglect is committed by a parent:
483,285
reported as perpetrators or for child neglect
77%
of children victimized by a parent
600,000+
children are abused in the U.S. each year
Why struggle, when your answer is just a phone call away?

What's Most Important for You and Your Family?
Parenting & Family Life Skills
Parenting is multifaceted. At IPI, parents learn about a child's diverse needs and how to effectively respond to their behaviors that are communicating those needs. B2E provides parents with a depth and breadth of understanding and skills around child growth and development, equipping them to keep their children safe and healthy.
Relationship Management
Healthy relationships within your sphere of influence are essential to your emotional and mental health and well-being. In our Relationship Management sessions, you'll obtain insight into the core skills needed to build functional relationships with anyone – kids, partners, colleagues, even yourself.
During times of need, IPI's Family Resources Center serves as a vital hub for community support and supportive services for families with children ages Birth2Eighteen.
