The
CHANGES Parent Support Network empowers parents and communities
experiencing destructive, violent and out-of-control adolescent
behavior. We achieve this through structured self-help support and
educational programs that promote positive behavioral and cultural
changes.
The
CHANGEinsight Program Beliefs
We
Believe:
- Communities,
parents, and kids need to learn to support each other.
- We
are parents and we take this honor seriously.
- As
parents, our goal is to raise self-reliant, responsible
and capable young adults by modelling self-respect,
accountability, and responsibility in ourselves.
- Healthy
family interaction includes conflict.
- Everyone
learns by doing.
- Change
involves hard work that is time-consuming and risky.
- We
change ourselves through a rational process of
THINKING-PLANNING-ACTING.
- Our
thoughts, feelings and behaviors are interconnected.
- Our
success as a parent or person is not tied to our kid's
choices.
- Our
support groups' focus is to nurture positive change in
its parents, kids, and the community.
