Our Programs
Parental relationships are important.
We don’t want to take the place of parents. That’s not our job. But we do want to equip parents to connect with their teens in order to be the influence we know they are.
What the parents say
“The staff is very kind, gentle, helpful. I found the EDGE to be understanding and helpful.”
“The EDGE has helped me immensely through difficult times with my son.”
“Very supportive staff. Great resource for parents!”
Building Family Connections
Parenting doesn’t come with an instruction booklet. And even if it did, you’d need several as your child ages. Connecting with your teen isn’t easy, but learning how to is easy. Building Family Connections is a resource for parents that can be offered in a variety of small-group settings, including community and church groups.
UTurn
Sometimes students need a little focused attention. Our UTurn program is a small-group mentoring program that works with students that may already be experiencing negative consequences associated with unhealthy choices. Sessions last 12-weeks, meeting once a week.
Online book
Some parents prefer connection at their own pace. We offer an online book discussion group focusing on books that are relevant to parenting teens. The virtual group allows for connection for those who are not able to fit another meeting into their schedule, but may be able to read a few pages while sitting at ball practice.
