ParenT(w)een Village
It Takes a Village to Raise a Teen.
You Found Yours.
You Don’t Have to Navigate Parenting Alone.
Find Connection, Support, and Guidance Here.
Parenting teens and tweens is HARD.
They push boundaries.
They seem glued to their screens.
They’re facing challenges you never imagined: social pressure, mental health struggles, academic stress, and more.
And sometimes, it feels like no one really gets it.
ParenT(w)een Village is Your Community of Support.
We’re a safe, welcoming space where parents, grandparents, and caregivers:
Ask questions and share experiences.
Learn from trusted professionals who “get it.”
Access tools, resources, and workshops to help your family thrive.
We’re here to remind you: You’re not alone.
Here's How it Works
Join The Village. Choose from three levels of participation and become part of a community of parents and caregivers just like you.
Ask, Learn, and Connect. Attend expert-led workshops, get answers to your questions, and find new tools to support your family.
Parent with Confidence. Build stronger relationships with your teens and face parenting challenges with clarity and calm.
We’re here to remind you: You’re not alone.
Imagine Feeling…
Supported: You have a community that listens, understands, and helps you find solutions.
Empowered: You have the tools, strategies, and insights to parent with confidence.
Connected: You’re building stronger relationships with your kids—and with other parents walking the same path.
At ParenT(w)een Village, you’ll find the support and connection you need to enjoy this journey, even when it’s hard.
Without the right support, parenting can feel isolating and overwhelming. Small struggles can grow into big challenges, and relationships can suffer. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
