The Parenting Journey

Research shows that compassion fatigue and burnout are real risks for those in helping professions.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, let's apply what we know: boundaries protect us, peer support sustains us, and our own mental wellness enables us to serve families effectively.

Everyone's health matters. 💚

We are excited to share that our Executive Director and Sr Program Director will be presenting at the Child Welfare League of America Annual Conference today. Child Welfare League of America (CWLA)

Their session, Insight to Action: The My Journey Experience for Youth in Foster Care.

We are always grateful to be in community with others who are committed to strengthening relationships and supporting youth and families in meaningful ways.

We have the privilege of sharing space with the National Early Relational Health (ERH) Network today, and we are so grateful! 💛

There is something truly special about being in the room with people and organizations who are wholeheartedly committed to seeing families and communities thrive. It reminds us why this work matters so much.

At Parenting Journey, we value opportunities to learn alongside partners who are committed to supporting caregivers and strengthening communities. We look forward to connecting, sharing ideas, and growing together.

Today is National Parenting Education Day.

Parenting doesn’t come with instructions and it was never meant to be done alone.

Every day, facilitators create space where families can reflect, connect, and try something new. Walking alongside parents as they discover what works for their family.

That’s the power of parenting education.

We are starting the year strong.

In January, we welcomed 21 newly graduated facilitators into the Parenting Journey community from 10 different organizations.

Thank you to the facilitators who showed up each day with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to learn together.
Thank you to the organizations that made space for professionals to engage with Parenting Journey curricula.
And thank you to our faculty for bringing care, presence, and commitment to every day of training.

We are grateful to be growing together. 💛
