Parenting Group
Option for Agency Referrals
Large amounts of funding
can be spent on services for families at risk for out-of-home
placement of their youth. However, if the parents don’t think they
have a problem and are not ready to make changes this can be an
inefficient use of funds and quite unproductive.
The goal of the Turning
Leaf ServicesSM
Parenting with Love and Limits® program is to provide referring
agents with a litmus test to determine if the family is ready to
change and make use of the services being offered to them. The
Parenting with Love and Limits® program will not only evaluate
readiness, but can help move the family through the three stages
preceding effective treatment:
-
Pre-contemplation stage – where a person does not believe
they have a problem.
- Contemplation
stage – where a person starts to think there may be a
problem and they may need to change, but are not ready to work
on the issues in the near term.
- Preparation
stage – the person begins to identify the problem and plans
to act within the next 30 days, accepting encouragement to learn
new skills and take small initial steps.

the Parenting with Love and Limits® program option makes sense from
