Family Connections Program

Family Connections is a multi-faceted community-based program that works with vulnerable families in their homes to strengthen families, address needs, and help them meet the basic needs of their children and prevent child maltreatment. Family strengths are used to make positive behavioral changes in family functioning and to ensure the safety of children. The Nurturing Parenting Program curriculum is a proven approach for the prevention and treatment of the recurrence of child neglect and abuse. Amazing Grace Arizona Families uses Nurturing Skills for Families, which is a Nurturing Parenting Program and is specifically tailored to meet the unique parenting needs of different stages of development. Through the Nurturing Parenting Program, we offer helpful, in-home infant, child, and teen education training.
