Family Resource Center
The foundation of HeartLove Place's Family Resource Center is the belief that every child deserves to be part of a loving family and to grow up safe and healthy. Home is more than just a place to live. It means many things - happiness, security, safety, love, friendship, protection, and family. These are the things that HLP's Family Resource Center strives to protect and increase by offering parenting education courses and activities, as well as office hours providing outreach and support to the community.
Child abuse and neglect are of major concern in low-income communities such as those located in or around Central-City Milwaukee, where parents are overwhelmed with countless barriers to successful parenting. In addition, a recent needs assessment conducted by The Milwaukee Child Abuse Prevention Services found that Milwaukee's prevention programs are missing some vital elements necessary to significantly reduce the incidences of child abuse and neglect in central city neighborhoods.  HeartLove Place is uniquely capable of filling these gaps by utilizing a holistic approach to service delivery which includes: offering two evidenced-based parenting programs; providing case management and counseling support to those who require more individualized attention; as well as the alleviation of significant barriers to program completion and parenting such as transportation, child care, and meal provision, etc.

Nurturing God's Way
"Nurturing God's Way" Parenting Program for Christian Families (offered at HLP to parents over age 18) is a research-based parenting program designed specifically for parents who utilize the scripture of the Bible to guide their parenting attitudes and practices. This cultural adaptation of the Nurturing Parenting Program incorporates the basic philosophy of nurturing parenting while assisting parents in strengthening their relationship with God, modeling Christian principles and building a nurturing Christian family lifestyle. Topics covered are: personalities and parenting values, God's commands regarding parenting, the role of Godly Parents, the development of morals and values, how labels affect our self-worth, ages and stages of development, character development, and understanding feelings.
 Techniques are taught such as: developing family rules, teaching children to use manners, praising children and their behavior, communicating, problem solving, stress management, understanding and expressing anger and rewards and punishment.
