WELCOME TO PARENTS CARES!
Of all the jobs that we will have in our lives, being a parent is perhaps the most challenging and the most rewarding. As parents, we want to raise our children to be as healthy as possible. We strive to provide our children with a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. We want to help them gain the knowledge, value, attitudes, and skills that they need to become adults who can take care of themselves and their parents, and who contribute positively to their communities. The parent’s role is important in ensuring our children grow up to be happy and successful adults. What we do and what we say to our early on makes a big difference as they grow into older adolescence and adulthood. In other words, parents Cares!
The parents Cares! Program is designed to help you do what you do as a parent better. Over the next five weeks, we will talk about ways you can protect your child from the negative outcomes of unhealthy sexual behaviors. This participant manual contains information that will be covered in the five sessions. To get the most out of each session, bring this manual with you to each session. Thank you for choosing parents cares

Counselling falls under the umbrella term 'talking therapies' and allows people to discuss their problems and any difficult feelings they encounter in a safe, confidential environment. The term can mean different things to different people, but in general it is a process people seek when they want to change something in their lives, or simply explore their thoughts and feelings in more depth. A counsellor is not there to sit you down and tell you what to do. Instead, they will encourage you to talk about what's bothering you in order to uncover any root causes and identify your specific ways of thinking. The counsellor may then look to create a plan of action to either help you reconcile your issues, or help you to find ways of coping. Counselling does not come in a cookie-cutter format and each session is generally tailored to the individual. There is flexibility within this type of therapy that allows for a variety of counselling formats, including:
