Parents Matter: At Work, In School, In College and Beyond

Whether they're helping a first grader develop reading habits, supporting a college student through stress, or balancing caregiving with workplace demands, parents remain one of the most powerful influences in a child's life. Research continues to show that when parents are supported, children thrive, and so do schools, workplaces, and communities.

Employers

Employee Productivity Begins at Home

Supporting parents isn't simply a wellness initiative. It's a talent strategy.

When employers help employees navigate parenting challenges, stress goes down and focus, retention, and engagement go up. Parenting support helps people show up more effectively at work and at home.

That's why leading employers are investing in evidence-based parenting education as part of their wellbeing strategy.

K-12 SCHOOLS

Student Success Starts with Strong Family Partnerships

Family engagement isn't an "extra." It's one of the most powerful, evidence-based tools schools have to improve attendance, achievement, and school connectedness.

When schools equip parents and educators with practical engagement tools, learning extends beyond the school day, and outcomes improve for students, families, and staff alike.

COLLEGES

When Kids Go to College, Parents Still Make a Difference

Independence doesn't eliminate the need for connection. Ongoing communication and support from parents can be an important protective factor for student wellbeing.

Parents don't need to solve their college student's problems. They can learn how to support resilience, emotional health, and help-seeking during this critical transition.

FAMILY SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS

The Most Important Resource for Children Is Already in Their Lives

One of the most effective ways to improve child outcomes is to strengthen the skills and confidence of parents themselves.

Peace at Home professional development helps clinicians and family service organizations effectively engage parents as partners in children’s success by addressing underlying family dynamics that influence children’s well-being.
