FAST® is an internationally-acclaimed parent engagement program that supports the family bonding necessary for children to thrive. Built on evidence-based practices and rigorously tested, FAST empowers parents as leaders of their families, builds positive connections and social capital between families and schools, and creates a supportive community that fosters children’s well-being and education.
The Nurturing Parenting Programs are a family-centered, trauma-informed initiative designed to build nurturing parenting skills as an alternative to abusive and neglecting parenting and child-rearing practices. By teaching positive parenting behaviors, the long-term goals are to prevent recidivism in families receiving social services, lower the rate of multi-parent teenage pregnancies, reduce juvenile delinquency and alcohol abuse, and stop the intergenerational cycle of child abuse. The Nurturing Parenting Program is recognized by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the National Registry for Evidence-based Parenting Programs (NREPP).
