A variety of important outreach and education programs offered by John F. Kennedy Memorial Foundation provide a safe space for parents to learn how they can improve their skills in parenting so they can improve their skills through strength-based supportive programs.
  • Supporting families in providing an environment that promotes the healthy growth and development of their children.
  • Providing in-home training in effective parenting skills and techniques. Learning effective discipline and parenting techniques helps children improve grades and results in fewer behavior problems, less substance abuse issues, better mental health and greater social competence.
  • Reducing the risk of child abuse and neglect by encouraging positive parenting practices that promote safety, well-being, and permanency for children and families.
