Are you struggling with your child’s behavior? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Southeast Youth and Family Services (SEYFS) is proud to offer The Parent Project®, a nationally recognized program designed specifically for parents and caregivers raising strong-willed children. This 10-week course provides practical, proven tools to help families navigate challenges like truancy, defiance, substance use, and family conflict. 

What families gain:

  • Stronger parent-teen communication
  • Increased confidence setting limits and enforcing consequences
  • A support network of other caregivers facing similar struggles
  • Real strategies that lead to real change—at home, in school, and in the community

Participants report reduced stress, fewer crises, and closer relationships with their teens. Some even describe the experience as life-changing. 

We believe parents are the answer. Let us help you find your strength and support your child’s success.
