What is the Healthy Parenting Home Study Program?

Parenting is a learned skill. Parents need resources that support positive parenting skills. Healthy Parenting Home Study Program is designed for parents who prefer to learn on their own. The correspondence style course is useful for parents who live in locations where group parenting programs are not offered.

Healthy Parenting Home Study Program is a program for expectant parents, caregivers, and parents of children from infancy to age five. The program is a self-led study that enables parents to expand their knowledge on parenting in the comfort of their own home. Growth and development, physical and emotional needs, and positive discipline strategies are some of the topics that are discussed in this home study program.

The Healthy Parenting Home Study Program, developed by Saskatchewan Health, was first piloted in January 1996 and revised in 1998. In June 2002, the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute was given copyright of the program.

There is no cost for those who would like to participate in the program.
