The Nurturing Parenting Program is an evidence-based program that is designed for the treatment and prevention of child abuse and neglect. The program provides lessons to foster positive parenting skills with nurturing behaviors. Community Human Services offers this 12-week curriculum to nearly 500 parents a year at various sites throughout Monterey County. These same skills and behaviors will now be shared via telephone.

For more than 50 years, Community Human Services has been making a positive impact on the community through prevention, intervention and treatment services for substance abuse, mental health and homelessness. Its parenting education program receives funding from Monterey County Behavioral Health and Monterey County Social Services and is free to Monterey County residents.
