Introducing the Families Together Parenting Group for parents involved with foster care

Lee Carlson Center for Mental Health and Well-being is excited to introduce an engaging 8 week group for biological parents of children involved in the foster care system that is designed to coach parents in developing and enhancing their parenting and relational skills while building and rebuilding strong healthy bonds and communication with their children.

The group will also provide an opportunity to get and give support as parents and work towards hope and healing together peer to peer.

At Lee Carlson Center we honor the dignity, worth and potential in every parent and admire the uniqueness of every child.  Parenting can be challenging. We coach parents along their path in achieving their goals as parents of their children.

To be eligible, parents will have children who are:

  • enrolled in the agency’s Intensive Treatment in Foster Care (ITFC) program,
  • enrolled in the agency’s Children’s Therapeutic Services and Supports (CTSS) program or,
  • enrolled in individual, group or family therapy with Lee Carlson Center.

Additionally, parents can be referred by a sponsoring agency such as a county or be enrolled themselves in individual or family therapy with Lee Carlson Center.
