ESTABLISHED: 1849
MISSION: Beech Acres Parenting Center combines science and compassion to deliver innovative solutions that equip adults to meet children’s needs and cultivate their strengths. We support the whole family by meeting parents where they are—in schools, doctors’ offices, and in the community—to give them the tools they need to thrive.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY: Our innovative programs apply a Natural Strengths Parenting™ approach, bringing out the best in every individual.
- For families: We offer supportive services to foster, kinship, and adoptive parents, helping caregivers find essential services and education to navigate their journeys with joy and success.
- For parents: Our unique Parent Connext® coaching builds strong parent and child relationships, laying the foundation for a deep and unbreakable bond, empowering families to thrive no matter the circumstance.
- For schools: Beech Acres offers two programs helping students flourish despite the challenges of today’ complex world: Beyond the Classroom for in-school mental health therapy and The Character Effect, a proven social emotional learning platform helping students lean into their character strengths to be their best selves every day.
