The Parent coach will meet with one or both parents (or any primary caregiver) to foster goal achievement related to parenting. In this non-judgmental setting, the Parent Coach should use psychoeducation and evidence-based strategy to navigate familial issues related to children. A parenting coach is beneficial for parents who need assistance to increase family functioning and improve communication. Parent coaching is different from therapy, which focuses more on diagnosing issues of the past. Parenting coaching is focused on future-oriented goal setting and solutions.
