Stress and anger management
Effective communication
Child development
Recognizing and preventing child abuse, neglect, and domestic violence
Building self-esteem, family values, and family fun

Parent Aide Program

The Parent Aide Support Program pairs parents under stress, or whose children may be at risk of abuse or neglect, with trained professionals or volunteers who support them in reaching their goals. Parent Aides build trusting, supportive relationships with parents while modeling positive parenting skills and offering encouragement every step of the way.

The program is:

Parent-focused and one-on-one
In-home and convenient
Non-judgmental and caring
Consistent, nurturing, and supportive

Parent Aides meet with families 1–2 hours each week, with the average family staying in the program for about 13 months. The result is safer, more resilient families who feel supported and empowered, not judged.

Available in Alamance, Orange, Chatham, Caswell, and Person Counties

We help families with children ages 8–19 improve their relationships and strengthen functioning at home, in school, and in the community.

Through one-on-one support, peers help participants:

Set and achieve personal goals

Overcome struggles and challenges
Strengthen community connections

This supportive relationship gives individuals an anchor of hope as they navigate recovery and growth.

Respite Services

Respite Services provide parents of children ages 0–17 with the chance to take a much-needed break from the daily stresses of caregiving. These short-term childcare options help reduce stress and strengthen family well-being.

Families receive scholarships to help cover the cost of childcare, whether in daycare centers, with trusted supervision providers, or through other safe, reliable options. Block parties and drop-in events are also provided throughout the year for parents to get a temporary break.

By giving parents the space to rest and recharge, Respite Services help prevent burnout, reduce family stress, and create healthier environments for children to thrive.
