BGC Parenting Programs are family-centered, based on concepts in attachment theory and focused on strengths. We believe in respectful, non-punitive parenting and place family relationships first in all situations.

Facilitated by professionals, our programs help participants learn about respectful communication, adolescent development, setting personal boundaries, and the importance of parental self-care. Most importantly, our programs help parents understand that they are not alone in their parenting challenges and receive support from other parents experiencing similar issues.

Parenting Without Power Struggles is a 10-week education and group support program for parents of preteens who want to develop new skills and knowledge, increase their confidence as parents, and support their preteens’ transition into adolescence.
