Parenting Alliance for Understanding, Support and Education
The PAUSE Program was designed to assist parents in
assessing and addressing potentially destructive parenting
attitudes, and building on parenting skills.  The program is
offered to parents in the Kansas City, Missouri metropolitan area
and surrounding counties.

PAUSE is a twelve-week intensive program utilizing group
therapy, testing, assessment, one-on-one direct assistance, and
written reports of progress.  

Anyone can attend PAUSE, including expectant parents, teen
parents, and parents with developmental delays.  PAUSE
focuses on abuse prevention and promotion of a safe, nurturing
environment for children.

Parents are referred to PAUSE from a variety of agencies,
including the Missouri Children's Division, Department of Health,
Department of Mental Health, Probation and Parole, Catholic
Charities, the Mattie Rhodes Center, and others. Parents
involved with the Children's Division receive additional
assistance specific to that agency, and also with the Courts with
whom they may be involved.

For more information, send us an
e-mail, or call us at your
convenience.  We look forward to hearing from you!
