The Parenting Plus Program is a 12-week class designed for parents, foster parents, grandparents, guardians, and childcare providers who are seeking support in managing common parenting challenges. The program is appropriate for anyone raising children, including those involved with DCFS, the court system, or probation services.

The course takes place over 12 weeks at our Rockford office. On-line sessions are also available.
