History of the Parenting Coalition
The Coalition formed in 1994 in recognition of the need for ongoing parent education in the Hamilton County area.  A lack of parenting skills was being noticed in the families receiving services from the agencies in the coalition.  Several local agencies met periodically over a period of one year, forming the Parenting Coalition, and formulated a philosophy for providing on-going Parenting Classes that could be more available to the community than what currently existed.  The Coalition began presenting classes in 1995 and has done so on a continuous basis since that time.
