Learn skills proven to help families heal and grow. This program is based on research and gives parents tools to be their children’s best teachers, reduce stressors, and improve family and individual wellness.

What is ADAPT?
ADAPT is an evidence-based parent coaching program focused on mindfulness for families with school-aged children. Key parenting skills taught include: encouragement, emotion coaching and emotion regulation, limit setting, monitoring, problem solving, and positive involvement.

Designed and developed by researchers and clinicians, the ADAPT program is an adaptation of the GenerationPMTO model to serve parents who have experienced stress and/or trauma in their lives and/or work.

Research results show that ADAPT significantly improves parenting, and parents’ confidence. Children show improved behavior and emotional adjustment. Parents also report reduced depression, PTSD, and suicidal tendencies, and show more effective responses to their children’s big emotions.
