Prevention

Consultation & Education

Navigating the ordinary hard parts — parenting support should not be reserved for families already in crisis.

For parents

Parent Coaching

We love working with parents, especially those who are proactive about learning best practices for supporting their child’s development. On the very best days, parenting can be exhausting, confusing, and overwhelming. Parenting support should not be reserved only for those who are experiencing clinically significant challenges, and we welcome the opportunity to support parents before problems become more severe or suggestive of a diagnosable disorder.

If you’re a new parent, a tired toddler parent, or the parent of a preschooler with big feelings, we would love to work with you. There are so many research-supported strategies for parenting in the early years that foster healthy emotional and behavioral development in the elementary years and beyond. Let us help you with parenting for the future!

If you’re already through the early years and your child is now searching for more independence in the elementary, middle, or high school years, we can help with that too. Need some guidance on best practices for managing screentime, supporting extracurricular participation, navigating peer/dating relationships, talking to your kids about alcohol and substance use, etc.? These years are challenging, and you don’t have to navigate it alone – we can help!

Workshops

Primary Prevention Workshops

We strongly believe that prevention is the best intervention. Tuesdays Together @KPS is a series of practical, engaging workshops designed to help parents better understand their children, navigate challenging moments, and feel more confident in how they respond.

Led by licensed mental health professionals and expert guest presenters, each 90-minute session explores a different topic, from behavior and anxiety to trauma, triggers, executive functioning, and more. Choose one workshop or join us for several throughout the series. Tuesdays, 6:00–7:30 PM, in person.

Behavior Track with Dr. Carolyn Kuehnel


Anxiety Track with Dr. Cindy Ballou


Trauma Track with Mikkah Weisman, LICSW

In addition to these workshops hosted by KPS, we are also available for community workshops and presentations (e.g., with SEPACs, preschools, or other parent groups). If you are in need of a speaker and feel that we could potentially be an appropriate fit, please don’t hesitate to contact us with specific questions.
