OUR MISSION
The Parenting Place is a community-based, non-profit organization whose mission is the prevention of child abuse and neglect through strengthening families. Our goals are to help families develop healthy parent-child relationships, to improve the futures of our children and ensure healthy families.
What We Offer
We provide services to strengthen families across Montana
At The Parenting Place, we believe strong families build strong communities. That’s why we offer a range of services designed to meet caregivers where they are—whether at home, in the community, or within the justice system. Our programs support families across Montana with:
-
Evidence-based parenting classes that create space for connection, learning, and growth
-
Trauma-informed training to help individuals and organizations avoid re-traumatization
-
Support for incarcerated caregivers with tools to strengthen parenting and life skills
-
Education on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their long-term impact
-
Flexible home visiting services to provide one-on-one guidance and build parental resilience
From group programs to individual support, we're here to help you build stronger relationships and a healthier future for your family.



The Family Tree Center in Billings and The Parenting Place in Missoula collaboratively form Child Abuse Prevention Centers of Montana. The team provides statewide advocacy and support to prevent child abuse before it happens.
