A major facet of fulfilling our mission statement, “transforming the lives of children and illuminating the path for Honduran families”, centers on providing counsel and training for the parents of our children.  Many times families can end up in crisis due to a lack of adequate parenting skills, a void of knowledge about normal childhood development, a weak understanding of how to implement positive discipline or because the parent does not possess a healthy foundation to facilitate open communication.

Foundation Casa de Luz employs a Christian Psychologist to bring quality training to parents and specialized counseling services to our children and their families.

An average of six times per year, our Psychologist and staff coordinate and execute workshops covering topics such as positive discipline, family finances, domestic violence prevention, health and nutrition, childhood development, emotional and spiritual health in a family, sexual abuse awareness and much more.  These dynamic workshops are titled, “School for Parents” because the parents learn important life skills and information which allows them to bring healthy change to their homes.

These workshops are an important element of the community impact which Foundation Casa de Luz has in Honduras because the training equips community mothers and fathers with necessary skills to be able to break negative parenting cycles and train up their sons and daughter with excellence.  As needs are identified during these parental training workshops, our professional staff is available to provide follow-up counseling, support and referral services.

Stronger individuals equal stronger, healthier families.  Stronger, healthier families equates to a stronger, healthier Honduras!
