"I had both of my children in the program. They were both struggling with anxiety, because I have anxiety. I learned how to better manage my own while learning how to help my kids. The program was remarkable!"

I feel that I improved my feelings (getting angry, etc.) by dealing with what was making me upset. I learned that I'm more intelligent than I thought I was. I improved my alertness by really listening to people. "I learned that I am capable of learning more things than I thought I knew!"I improved my behavior, all of it.

 ACBT and all of its staff members have treated us like family from the start. Their focus on education, for the parents as well as the patent, has made the entire experience more comfortable. We now feel like we have the tools to deal with whatever issues may arise in the future. Thank you!

We were walking on eggshells and didn't know how to manage the behaviors. My son was completely out of control, fighting with his siblings, causing problems in school and causing havoc in the house. We didn't know what to do. We tried other therapy, but I could not get him  to go. This program was a life saver!!

I think that I will be great. I learned how easy it is to make friends. I also learned that just because we think it, it doesn't mean it is true.  The FFGs are so easy to learn and they help me from making bad choices. I'll miss working with my coach, she was awesome.

I hated school. I was so bored and my days seemed so long. I was really stressed and overwhelmed and had stomachaches and headaches. I have learned to appreciate school and I'm proud of the As that I'm now earning. I don't get the headaches anymore and rarely get stomachs first thing in the morning. I loved working with Jenn, she really helped me by teaching me how to think better. 

Empowering You to Achieve Happiness

Empowering Parents Through Evidence-Based Training

Empowering Parents Through Evidence-Based Training

Parenting doesn’t come with a manual—but it can come with support. Our 8-week Parent Empowerment Training (PET) course helps parents and caregivers build emotional stability, stronger communication, and consistent behavior strategies. Grounded in neuroscience and psychology, PET equips families to thrive together—even when facing ADHD, anxiety, or behavioral challenges.

Practical Tools for Real-Life Parenting

Empowering Parents Through Evidence-Based Training

From managing meltdowns to navigating school stress, PET provides practical tools you can use immediately. Learn how to stay calm under pressure, guide your child’s development, and reduce conflict at home. Our strategies are simple, flexible, and proven to work—even for busy families juggling multiple roles.

Strengthening Co-Parenting and Family Communication

PET fosters shared language, structure, and consistency—especially helpful for co-parenting across separate households. Our group format helps reduce conflict and promote collaboration, making it easier to support your child together. Whether you’re parenting solo or in partnership, PET empowers you to communicate effectively and work as a united front.

Research-Backed Parenting That Works

 Studies show that children make the most progress when their parents are involved. Recent research highlights improved emotional outcomes, behavior regulation, and family satisfaction when parents actively engage in treatment. PET combines these insights with decades of successful implementation to give you a program that’s both effective and evidence-based.

Culturally Responsive and Highly Adaptable

Join the Next Session and Transform Your Family

 PET is designed to respect and adapt to your family’s unique culture, values, and routines. Whether you're blending families, co-parenting, or dealing with neurodivergent needs, the program meets you where you are. PET also integrates easily with other therapies like NE-CBT, play therapy, EMDR, or ART.
