Each One Teach One Together, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency that provides resources and support to all families. Each One Teach One Together encompasses six guiding principles:
- To be effective, parents need to be strong and flexible.
- To be supported, parents need friends that understand trauma and know how to be supportive.
- Parenting is part natural and part learned and therefore ongoing parent skills training is essential to blend the two.
- All parents need help sometimes. Being open to receiving help, especially when in crisis, is a strength and not a weakness.
- Children need help in communicating effectively and parents need to develop the skills to assist them in doing this.
- Parents and children need and deserve love and respect. This reciprocal relationship can happen by learning parental behavior to enable children to feel lovable, capable, worthwhile and responsible.
