Equipping Parents Program
Providing support, resources and education for those at various stages and challenges on their parenting journey.
Connected Nest's Equipping Parents program expands our community-based support and learning for parents wanting to learn and grow together.
We encourage participants to find solidarity while raising children and becoming a parent. This pillar expands our ecosystem of support that strengthens caregiver well-being, reduces isolation, and improves outcomes for children. Based on needs, we collaborate and educate on a wide variety of topics that impact parenting. We maintain a trauma-informed mental health perspective and target social-emotional health and family dynamic integration.
Our current Areas of focus
Dads and Father Figures
Positive parenting is best done by all involved. Equipping Dads with support and resources is a goal of ours. Sign up to keep up to date of coming events and opportunities. We have provided workshops and events open to both partners and will continue to inform you of these as well!
Parents of Kids with Special Needs
We have aimed to build support for those in our community raising kids with unique needs in the form of neurodivergence, disability and developmental delays. As we get started on this, we will begin with connection opportunities in the community. Get on our email list and also reach out for specific connections or area resources.
Workshops and Events
We seek to provide additional parenting support! Get on our email list and check back often for coming events. Workshops and coming events are all listed here!
Babywearing Support
With babywearing support and a lending library we help caregivers safely and comfortably wear babies using carriers, wraps, and slings. Led by experienced educators, our workshops provide hands-on instruction, personalized guidance, and peer support. Incorporating babywearing into your routines can alleviate stress, increase connection and confidence. Email babywearing@connectednest.org for support
