How First 5 Humboldt is Building Capacity for Parenting Education in Humboldt County

May 14, 2024

For anyone that works with families in our community, and/or is a parent or caregiver themselves, you have probably had families communicate a need or desire to engage in parenting education of some sort- whether it be a Parent Café model where caregivers gather and have an opportunity for open conversation or whether it be a more structured model where parenting education curriculum is offered. In general, there seems to be an overwhelming need for parenting education amongst Humboldt County families. First 5 Humboldt has created a parent education training menu in response to this need. We now have staffed trained in Triple P Positive Parenting, Abriendo Puertas (Opening Doors), Parents as Teachers, Infant Massage, NBO (Newborn Behavioral Observations), CRM (Community Resiliency Model) and we will soon have folks trained in Positive Indian Parenting. If you or your organization would like to inquire about one of our parent/caregiver education offerings, please feel free to reach out at first5humboldt@co.humboldt.ca.us or give us a call at (707) 445-7389. Here is a link to our training menu for families, to be updated with NBO and CRM soon.
