Thrive Parent-Education Programs

Thrive Parent-Education Programs The Thrive Initiative is your resource for positive parenting programming. It is designed to empower

The Thrive Initiative is designed to empower parents as they nurture their children from birth until their children reach 18 years of age. The Initiative includes online universal programming divided into four age-specific programs: Take Root (0 to 3 years), Sprout (3 to 5 years), Grow (5 to 10 years), and Branch Out (10 to 18 years). Online universal programming is available at no cost to military and civilian parents and caregivers. Each Thrive parenting program guides parents as they learn and use parenting skills that are based on science so they can encourage positive youth development and resiliency across their child’s lifespan. The Initiative focuses on three topic areas: 1) positive parenting practices, 2) parent and child stress management, and 3) child physical health promotion.

Military parents of children with special needs bring something to the table that can’t be taught: lived experience. Now, that experience could help another family find their way. 💙

Project COMPASS hosted by Thrive Center for Children, Families, and Communities is a FREE 12-session virtual certificate program that prepares military parents to serve as Peer Support Navigators, helping other military-connected families navigate systems, programs, and barriers to care.

The program meets twice a month, and tuition is fully covered for military-connected participants. Space is limited for this first offering.

High temperatures can cause children to become sick very quickly. Heat stroke is a medical emergency, so it’s important to contact your pediatrician right away if your child develops signs of heat illness that don’t improve quickly once moving them to a cool environment.

Never leave your child alone in a car, even for a minute. The inside of a car can become dangerously hot in just a short amount of time—even with the windows open—and kids left inside can develop heat stroke very quickly. Always check the back seat and make sure that all kids are out of the car before locking it and walking away. Learn more: https://bit.ly/2JxLKvd
