HHS, Mental Health Center offer program
to teach nurturing skills to parents 

Beginning Wednesday, Aug. 30, Broomfield Health and Human Services (HHS), in collaboration with the Mental Health Center serving Boulder and Broomfield Counties, will offer a 16-week Nurturing Parenting Program designed to build nurturing skills and practices by emphasizing the value of unconditional love within a family. 

The Nurturing Parenting Program is family-centered. Its courses teach participants about the developmental processes of a child, the importance of offering children choices, and showing children they are loved and respected, helping parents to be more empathetic and nurturing caretakers. 

HHS will start the program. Classes will be weekly on Wednesday evenings and dinner will be served to all participants and their children.  Classes are limited to 20 families.  The atmosphere will be light, fun and educational.   

To find out more about the program, to register or to volunteer in the program, contact John Mowery at 720-887-2206 for more information.
