5 Step Foundational Parenting Programs and Training Seminars

  • 5 Step Self Help Groups-These are based on the wisdom of the children and teens Barbara Krovitz-Neren has worked with during the past 35 years, Attachment theory, Mindful Based Stress Reduction, Carl Rogers work, and Adverse Childhood Research Project.
  • Training 5 Step Group Leaders to expand and lead this 5 week group.
  • Training Parent to Parent Mentors using this model as a more personal approach to supporting parents

All Foundational Parenting Programs are based on the following beliefs:

  • Change can happen and families can reorganize
  • Parents can be effective parents even if they have other challenges in their lives
  • All family members can learn to live a life not organized around addiction, divorce, mental health challenges and abuse
  • Parents can benefit from parent to parent support
