Parents Support Circles of Los Angeles County (PSCLAC) is developing 100 support groups for parents of children 0-5 throughout Los Angeles County. Our peer facilitated support group model, based on community input, allows for maximum parent ownership/control. We will discuss the TinkerToy model, a flexible approach to curriculum that supports parent leaders in facilitating parent groups and its development, values, materials and implementation.
