What is "Parents and Children Connecting Together"?

Parents and Children Connecting Together, or PACCT’s, vision is to impact the community by connecting parents, children, teachers, schools, and organizations. PACCT’s mission is to work in these settings to help families succeed by giving them the skills and tools they need to build stronger family connections and community relationships.

Using non-violent communication techniques, positive parenting, the 40 developmental assets, and social emotional intelligence skills, PACCT increases youths' ability to succeed at home and in school and the parents ability to communicate with their children and their children’s schools.

PACCT offers group coaching and classes to help parents understand child development and childhood behaviors, build child and parent connections by setting family values, develop parent school advocacy and involvement, and establish family and personal boundaries with children who suffer from behavioral, social-emotional, academic challenges and developmental disorders.

PACCT encourages children to succeed in academics, and to develop strong social emotional skills at home and at school. At PACCT, the aim is to strengthen the bond necessary for children to reach their full potential by mentoring and coaching the child’s first and most important teacher, their parents.
