With no manual on how to handle some of the current issues parents face, parents can feel frustrated and helpless. When it comes to modern problems like cell phones, social media, on-line schooling, and designer drugs what do you do?

The Parent Project was written by parents just like you that found practical solutions to raising strong-willed children. It is focused on empowering parents to take back their homes and improve their relationships with their children. Not only will you benefit from excellent information, you will grow in practical skills to deal with strong-willed youth. You will also find the support you need as a parent to navigate the challenges you face.

How it Works

Parents will meet 1 night per week for 10 weeks for a total of 25 hours. Classes may be in person or virtual. Please watch this page for upcoming dates.

Parents will attend and learn in a classroom setting to manage teen behavior problems at home. You will receive and work through an activity-based workbook: "A Parent's Guide to Changing Destructive Adolescent Behavior.” The Parent Guide is available for $29. Parent support groups are formed using the UCLA self-help support group model.

About the Parent Project

At the Parent Project®, we believe that parents are the answer. In our 30 plus years, we have worked with over 1.5 million parents raising difficult or out-of-control children. Our programs are based on their experiences and successes. No matter how difficult the situation may be, we can help. “Little miracles”. It’s what we do!

The Parent Project is now the largest court-mandated juvenile diversion program in the country and for agencies, the least expensive intervention program available today.
