Listening to your children
The Parent Centre strives to contribute to a society in which every parent/caregiver is able to raise resilient and well-balanced children in ways in which they can develop their full potential, protected from victimization and abuse in communities free from violence.
MISSIONThe Parent Centre is a non-profit organization working mainly in the Western Cape.
Through primary prevention, we aim to:
- facilitate the safety and healthy emotional development of the child from birth to early adulthood;
- promote the well-being and self-esteem of the parent/caregiver;
- prevent child abuse, victimization and neglect;
- contribute to the prevention of teen pregnancy, substance abuse and HIV and AIDS;
- enhance the child's capacity to be a resilient, caring, competent and creative member of society; and
- encourage the establishment of a loving, nurturing environment that strengthens the family and society.
We do this by working directly with parents, caregivers and educators - and indirectly by collaborating with other people and organizations which support and work with parents.
We offer training in positive parenting and support to people and communities wanting to promote the practice of positive parenting. We offer counseling and support to parents/caregivers.
