Indiana Parenting Institute, Inc. (IPI)

Today's parents require problem solvers who think outside the box and provide well-informed solutions.

Today's teens are competent and information savvy. This stage of teen development is a good time for parents to assess additional parenting prep their teen requires to launch them into adulthood successfully. Our "Launching Teens Into Adulthood Parent Chats" are ideally suited to measure the success factor for parent and child.

Did you know that parenting, according to the National Institutes of Health, in the US and other countries worldwide, is seen as the most critical public health issue facing our society? It is the single most significant variable implicated in childhood illnesses and accidents; teenage pregnancy, substance misuse; truancy, school disruption, underachievement; child abuse; unemployability; juvenile crime; and mental illness. It is an issue that must be addressed for the benefit and welfare of children before they reach adulthood.

Great Parenting Happens Here!

“It’s not a program, but who they are.” Amish Bishop*

Founded by a mom who wanted to provide parents with the assistance and support that at times feel lacking as you get confronted with the challenges of raising a child, IPI serves families throughout the state of Indiana looking to improve, or strengthen, their family bond, and to realize their full potential. IPI provides these families with evidence-informed, group-based parenting education and life skills training, as well as a Family Resources Access Point, to strengthen their family (and community) relationships and to transform their lives. To learn more about what we do, visit HERE. To hear the stories of the families we’ve become family with, click HERE.

“Our parents always leave us smiling because we were once them.” Laura W., Founder

*The Amish Bishop came to observe our program. This was how he described to his driver what he witnessed.
