The Nurturing Parenting Program (NPP) is an evidence-based curriculum designed to meet the needs of parents across the continuum of ages and stages. Curriculums are adapted for parents of young children, teenage children, teen parents, and parents who are in substance abuse programs.
OHWCI believes the use of this coursework, blended with Expressive Art can used as a strong force in healing and recovery.
