The Planting Prosperity Program (PPP) helps parents create a safe and nurturing environment for their children. This program combines Trauma Informed Care (TIC) training and Mental Health Consultation to enhance the parent-child relationship. Participants decide what level of support is needed. The goal of both services is to equip providers with the tools to enhance the parent-child relationship.
