Empathy, Understanding, and Support: The Core of Positive Parenting

In the heart of community support and development lies the Be There program, an initiative by the non-governmental organization WOCO, dedicated to the psychosocial wellbeing of parents and caregivers. The program is a beacon of hope and guidance for those seeking to foster nurturing environments for their children.

Understanding the Be There Program

The Be There program is not just an intervention; it’s a movement towards positive parenting. It’s built on the understanding that the wellbeing of parents directly influences the upbringing of children. By addressing the psychosocial aspects of parenting, the program aims to equip caregivers with the skills necessary to raise happy, healthy, and resilient children.

The Goals of Be There

• Enhance Psychosocial Wellbeing: The program provides tools and strategies to help parents manage stress, build resilience, and maintain a positive outlook.
• Develop Positive Parenting Skills: Through workshops and resources, caregivers learn effective communication, empathy, and discipline strategies that promote children’s development.
• Build Supportive Communities: Be There fosters a network of support among parents, creating a safe space for sharing experiences and advice.

• Educational Workshops: Interactive sessions that cover various parenting topics, from emotional intelligence to conflict resolution.
• One-on-One Counseling: Personalized support to address individual challenges and concerns.
• Resource Distribution: Access to books, articles, and online materials that provide further learning opportunities.
