EVIDENCE BASED PARENTING PROGRAM OUTLINE

EBPP aims to promote family pride and cohesion. In the first session, instructors introduce a framework called the Pyramid of Success to help parents set goals for their children and identify what their children need to reach those goals. The remaining sessions teach parenting skills and educate parents on how children learn and develop. Skills taught include setting family rules, using positive consequences to reward respectful and desirable child behavior, and using corrective consequences to address disrespectful and undesirable child behavior. The program also addresses the topics of drug use, single parenting, and child abuse. After each session, parents are provided with home activities to practice the skills taught during the session.

Expected Outcomes/Key Metrics: Through funding this Evidence Based Practice and Community Driven Evidence Based Practice, DHCS and ONHB expects to strengthen positive parenting practices, improve the response to emotional and behavioral challenges commonly experienced in childhood, promote child social and emotional development, improve caregiver involvement and relationships with children, and increase support for individuals that may be experiencing heightened levels of caregiver-related stress among other outcomes.

Journaling Out Loud

✍️ Journaling Out Loud

One New Heartbeat invites you to explore the healing power of journaling in a supportive virtual group. Writing is encouraged but never required. Each session begins with a guided prompt to spark reflection, followed by optional group sharing and discussion. This practice is a simple yet powerful tool to help reduce stress for parents, caregivers, and anyone seeking balance.

What to Expect

Wellness Check-In: We begin each session with a mindful check-in to create a welcoming, grounded space.

Expressive Writing: Explore writing as a way to process emotions, ease stress, and release internal struggles onto paper.

Optional Sharing: You may choose to write privately or share your thoughts “out loud.” Either way, you’ll find a safe, nurturing environment where feelings of anger, sadness, or worry can be expressed without judgment.

Together, we build a compassionate space for healing, self-discovery, and emotional support.

Alternatives to Suicide Groups

One New Heartbeat is the organizer of this event, which features the Alternatives to Suicide approach. Developed by the Wildflower Alliance in 2009, this approach stands out as one of the few groups that facilitates meaningful conversations about suicidal thoughts.

Instead of focusing on risk assessment and behavior control, these groups emphasize the creation of a non-judgmental environment to encourage open discussions and dispel the silence and stigma associated with suicide, as well as other "taboo" subjects.

Every 1st & 3rd Wednesday

Guiding Principles of Menopausal Recovery

Recovery Emerges from Hope
Hope fuels healing especially during menopause, which can feel overwhelming or isolating. Believing that wellness is possible during this transition is essential. Peer support, families, providers, and community allies all help restore a hopeful outlook.

Recovery is Person-Driven
Everyone’s menopausal experience is unique. This program supports each person in designing her own wellness path based on her values, needs, and lived experience honoring autonomy and informed choice.

Recovery Occurs via Many Pathways
Menopausal recovery may include hormone therapy, holistic health practices, dietary adjustments, spiritual grounding, and connection with others experiencing the same transition. No two journeys look alike and that’s okay.

Recovery is Holistic
This program addresses the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. It embraces lifestyle, cultural identity, relationships, employment, and other roles impacted by menopause. Care is integrative, person-centered, and trauma-informed.

Recovery is Supported by Peers and Allies
Menopause can feel isolating. Shared lived experience and storytelling offer mutual empowerment and affirmation. Participants form trusted circles that validate their experiences and remind them they’re not alone.

Recovery is Supported through Relationships and Social Networks
Supportive relationships—both personal and professional can buffer menopausal stress. Whether through sisterhood, chosen family, providers, or support groups, healing often happens in connection.

Recovery is Culturally Grounded
Cultural beliefs shape how menopause is understood, discussed, and supported. This program honors each person’s cultural background and integrates healing practices that resonate across traditions.

Recovery Addresses Trauma
For many, menopause may trigger unresolved trauma, grief, or body-related distress. This program is trauma-informed, creating emotional safety and empowering participants to reclaim their bodies and narratives.

Recovery Involves Family, Community, and Individual Responsibility
Menopause affects family dynamics and work-life balance. This program offers tools for open communication, boundary-setting, and self-care, while encouraging systems of mutual support.

Recovery is Rooted in Respect
Each participant is seen, heard, and valued. We respect the wisdom that comes with age, and the courage it takes to face physical and emotional changes.
