Mission: Enhance the parenting skills of Teller County parents in order to improve coping skills, reduce family stressors, and improve the quality of family living.

Program Description: Parenting is a topic that has received very little attention in our educational institutions and it is not something that comes naturally to most people.  Poor parenting skills are the primary cause of behavioral problems among children and youth.  Programs like the “Incredible Years” has been shown to increase parenting skills over broad populations of parents.  The Community Partnership Family Resource Center offers this program twice a year in both the CPFRC Divide Training Room and at the Cresson Elementary School in Cripple Creek.  The programs are offered free to the public.  Childcare is provided along with a meal free of charge. 

Funding:  The program is funded by the Temple Hoyne Buell Foundation and the Tony Grampsas Youth Services.
