 Christina Hemmer is training coordinator
for the Dakota Boys Ranch in Fargo, North Dakota. This non-profit
Christian organization works primarily with at-risk youth ages
12 to 17 and their families. Christina has found a creative way
to put Active Parenting to work-she uses it for staff training:
"I teach Active
Parenting Now to staff members who work directly with
the youth in our care. As many of our staff are in their early
twenties, very few have parenting experience. We have found the
program does an excellent job teaching them skills that help
them build relationships with our youth. I present the program
to the staff by relating it to our jobs, but also point out how
it is helpful to start learning good parenting skills before
we even have children. The staff that have been through the course
absolutely love it! As an organization we are working on offering
the program to the parents of our residents in the future. It
is not that easy to get the parents of the residents involved,
so we are moving slowly."
