Catholic Charities’ Supportive Parenting program helps parents with cognitive or learning disabilities raising children. Funding for this program covers families with children from birth to age 7 or first grade, which ever comes first. Supportive Parenting helps parents establish stronger family ties while developing and maintaining positive parenting skills. It is especially vital to engage “at-risk” families in positive parenting skills as they interact on a day-to-day basis with their children.
