Services
SIERRA Families offers free (grant-funded) services for parents and families with a child between the ages of 0 and 10 years. Our program is designed for parents who have children with mild to moderate behavior problems that are disrupting family functioning. Additionally, we can help parents who are struggling with their own stress or mental health and such concerns are impacting their ability to parent.
Our services aim to teach parents the skills they need to manage their own stress and emotions, in addition to skills to help them in their role as a parent. Parents will learn positive communication and behavior management skills to improve their relationships with their children.
Our program is appropriate for all types of caregivers: biological parents, adoptive parents, resource parents, grandparents or other extended family members in caregiving roles. We can work with single parents, or multiple parents, as needed.
If we identify that you are not appropriate for our services, or that additional services are needed, we will refer you to a community provider. This may include a referral for individual therapy, case management, or social services.
