Parents know what’s best for their families. We’re here to provide you the tools to help them along their journey.
About us
Our mission is to fundamentally transform family and community wellbeing by centering on strengths-based, trauma-informed approaches that help families and communities thrive. We do this by developing and teaching life-changing strategies, fostering a collaborative network of individuals and institutions that implement PJ programs, and who advocate for better opportunities for families and communities. We envision a world where every family has the opportunity to thrive, a future where proven practices inform policies that unleash the unique potential within each family, fostering resilient communities. At Parenting Journey, we don’t just say that our parent-development programs are successful, we back it up with proven results. All programs are modeled on our NEST philosophy, meaning: Non-didactic: programs are not aimed at teaching how to parent, they help to identify the strengths needed to parent Evidence-based: our core program has proven to help parents transition from negative to positive feelings about themselves and life in general Strengths-focused: programs hone in on what parents are already good at and amplify it, rather than focusing on weaknesses Trauma-informed: programs are designed to acknowledge the impact of past experiences and create a safe space for growth

Parenting Journey celebrates the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on this meaningful day. Whether you’re serving alongside others or taking time for self-care, we honor his teachings by embracing empathy, guiding future generations toward justice, and continuing the work of building a world full of compassion and equity. 💕 #MLKDay #CommunityImpact #ParentingJourney #KindnessMatters

🌟 Honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on his birthday🌟 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. envisioned a world rooted in love, equality, and service—a vision that continues to inspire and guide us at Parenting Journey. We believe in the importance of nurturing families and building strong communities. We were recently inspired by U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy's My Parting Prescription and the importance of staying connected to community, having purpose and balancing self-care with service. Caring for ourselves enables us to show up for others in meaningful ways. Whether through volunteering, helping a neighbor, or pausing to reflect on how we can contribute to a better world, each act of kindness moves us closer to the compassionate future Dr. King dreamed of. 💡 How are you creating a legacy of service in your life or work? ✨ Read our latest blog post to explore how you can honor this legacy and make a difference. https://lnkd.in/e5cgXHW9 Together, let’s continue to build communities rooted in love, equity, and hope. #MLKDay #LegacyOfService #ParentingJourney #CommunityLeadership #SelfCare #FamilySupport #SocialImpact #nonprofit #CommunityImpact #Blog

Since It's a New Year - We wanted to lead with one of our very favorite Ritual Questions… 🌿 How Are You Taking Care of Yourself Today? 🌿 At Parenting Journey, we know that being a caregiver is one of the most rewarding and challenging roles. But let’s not forget: you can’t pour from an empty cup. 💛 Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s necessary, and it’s showing yourself compassion. Whether it’s a few minutes of quiet, a walk in nature, or saying "no" to one more task, prioritizing yourself is how you show up fully for those you love. We are teaching children that loving oneself is an essential part of life. Let’s model that for the next generation! 💫 💬 Tell us: How are you practicing self-care this week? #parentingjourney #selfcare #parentingsupport #nonprofit #facilitationskills #selfcompassion #communitycare
