LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PARENT COACH CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

“I’m so thankful for the shift in perspective that coaching has given me. I view my children differently—more positively—than I ever have. The way I was viewing my kids was blocking our connection. Seeing my kids as called and capable with God-given gifts has allowed me to let go of trying to control them and modify their behavior.” -Kate

Restoration Anglican Church

Restoration Anglican is a church in South Minneapolis rooted in God’s word, steeped in the sacred traditions of the church, and expectant of God’s movement. We believe that Jesus wants to restore our unraveled stories into the wholeness of God’s story. Restoration heartily welcomes children in our midst. We are honored to partner with parents, grandparents, godparents, and all caregivers in the incredible charge of raising children to know, experience, and share the love of God in Jesus. We believe God desires a relationship with children from their earliest days, and that our church community is strengthened by their presence. We take seriously our calling to proclaim God’s goodness to the next generation. Three values we hope to instill in all children are: God Made You on Purpose (Gen 1 & Psalm 139) He Loves You Completely (1 John 4) He Goes with You Everywhere (Matt 28) These values are truths that we want to be buried deep into the hearts of our children, especially as they explore the riches of the gospel and go into the wider world.

Child Light Therapies, LLC

Hello, I am Ms. Jen and I believe we are all different by design. I love to partner with families like yours to help children who may be struggling with issues commonly associated with ADHD, Autism, Sensory Processing Differences, PANS/PANDAS, mood disorders, and trauma. My Integrative, playful approach takes some of the heaviness that can come with counseling away, while building a sense of safety and connection.  Through my partnership with Connected Families, I am now able to offer parent coaching, access to online courses and community, and free resources to help my parents navigate parenting a neurodivergent child. Through the application of the Autoplay Therapy Framework, I get to know each child, their play preferences, and strengths, to create a treatment plan unique to your child’s needs. I engage children through play, mindfulness, music, movement, art, and trauma-informed approaches. Being a mother and now grandmother of some awesome Neurodivergent people myself, I know the struggles. Child Light Therapies believes the family are an active part of the therapeutic team. Parental and family support is available such as parent coaching, parenting resources, and my Facebook page where we can share, encourage, and hold a space with each other. Read more…

Church of the Cross

Rooted in history and relevant for today, Church of the Cross is an Anglican church located in Hopkins MN. We are called to be a church where together we encounter Christ, are changed by Christ, and introduce Christ to others. One of our core values (listed here on our website) is The Blessing of Children: Children are full members of our community, they richly bless us with their presence and we seek to bless them through intentional investment in our life together. On a typical Sunday morning here at Church of the Cross we have opportunities for infants through 6th grade to gather in age-appropriate classes. In these classrooms we make invitations typical of sacred spaces: reading the Bible, prayer, authentic response and established liturgies to lay down a foundation early in the lives of this growing generation of Christ followers, the church now and church to come. Please consider this an invitation to life together. We look forward to the opportunity to meet you! Read more…

Mercy Hill Church

At Mercy Hill we live out our mission through a vision of Striving After Relationship Not Religion. When we talk about relationship and not religion, we mean putting our relationship with God in the middle of everything we do. We mean making commitments to really be with and for each other in community. And, we mean making efforts to connect in meaningful and lasting ways with our neighbors, our co-workers, and anyone else God might bring us into contact with. We believe really strongly that God didn’t make human beings to live in isolation, loneliness, or independence. We were created to come alive inside of relationship. First with God and then with each other. Read more…
