Abstract
Our research study pertains to the investigation of the effectiveness of parenting education courses among Latino parents. Specifically our research question states, “According to professionals in the field of Health and Human Services, does attending parenting education courses improve parent-to-child communication and intervention skills among Latino Families.” In order explore this statement we conducted a research study with referring professionals and facilitators. We asked them questions pertaining to their experience with Latino families and their observations related to parenting education courses. We found that parents that attend parenting education courses have a higher probability to improve their parent-to-child communication and intervention skills. Further, we found that the need for crisis intervention was lower among parents that received parenting education, and assisted them in developing a positive family cohesion.
