Who We Are
Mission: To find easy and powerful ways for individuals and organizations to promote supportive parenting and prevent child abuse.
Advancing Parenting is a non-profit organization based in Camarillo, California, dedicated to enhancing the overall quality of parenting within communities. Unlike traditional parenting education programs that focus on individual parents, Advancing Parenting aims to elevate parenting standards across the board by promoting supportive parenting practices and preventing child abuse. They achieve this by developing and disseminating simple yet impactful tools and resources that individuals and organizations can use to foster positive parenting behaviors.

Community Engagement: By collaborating with local organizations, schools, and community centers, Advancing Parenting integrates supportive parenting messages into everyday environments, ensuring widespread exposure and reinforcement of positive parenting practices.
-
Resource Development: They develop easy-to-understand resources that individuals and organizations can utilize to promote supportive parenting and prevent child abuse, aiming to make these practices accessible and actionable for everyone.
