The UM Linda Ray Intervention Center Parenting Program is designed to help families explore their hopes and challenges and recognize opportunities for celebration.

The Nurturing Parenting Programs are trauma-informed, family-based programs designed for the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect. Parents and their children learn positive and caring nurturing skills as a family.  The center utilizes the evidence-based model, The Nurturing Program for Parents and their Children with Special Needs and Health Challenges ®.  The program recognizes that each family has a unique history, value system, cultural identity, and combination of strengths and challenges and is based on the conceptual framework for Nurturing Programs:

  • Appropriate Parental expectations
  • Empathetic awareness of the needs of children
  • Understanding and using empathetic, effective discipline strategies and behavior encouragement techniques
  • Understanding appropriate parent-child roles and responsibilities
  • Development of power and independence in children

There is no program cost to participating families, thanks to the generous funding of The Children’s Trust.The Children's Trust logo
