We recognize and value diverse family structures. We define parent as any adult caregiver performing the multiple roles in parenting. We know that families are influenced by culture, race, ethnicity, religion and socioeconomic level and are part of neighborhoods, religious communities and social institutions.

As the first intimate setting for children, the family’s role is to present a context within which children can understand who they are and what the family expects of them. The family equips children with the skills needed to successfully function in society.

All family members influence each other in the family setting. The parent/child influence goes both ways. We define parent as any adult caregiver performing the multiple roles in parenting. We offer educational resources for divorcing parents and parents of children of all ages as well as professionals who work with those parents.
