Parent Development
NYAP understands that families, for various reasons, may find themselves in need of new ways to parent their children and youth.
NYAP provides parent education services based on Dr. Stephen Bavolek's evidence-based Nurturing Parenting curricula. Specific curriculum elements are implemented based on the initial assessment findings using the related Adult - Adolescent Parenting Inventory (AAPI-2).
The program, having a built-in assessment, allows NYAP staff to build parent education on the assessed needs of each unique family, providing relevant and effective intervention.
Parent education services are provided in Indiana under contract with the Indiana Department of Child Services.
