Loving Parents envisions a community of connected, loving, and resourced families in Austin. We see a community where parents are cared for and have what they need to be healthy, and we see the beautiful impact that loving parenting has on multiple generations of children.

We seek to uplift families by meeting parents where they are, by supporting them in a way that is holistic, trauma-informed, and connected, and by creating communities where parents find belonging.

Our Core Beliefs

• How parents are doing is how their kids are doing. Children experience positive outcomes when parents are supported and nurtured.

• Trauma is a part of being human. All of our practices include a trauma-informed approach, and our staff and volunteers are all prepared to show up in a compassionate way for other humans.

• We are holistic and body-centered. We believe our bodies hold the stories of our lives as well as the keys to healing.

• Parents need and deserve deep and compassionate support throughout the different ages and stages of their children. Raising a teenager can be just as challenging as the first days as a new parent. Parenting is not easy, but it can be the most rewarding job any of us get to do. True and deep support helps parents show up as their best selves. Support is vital!

• We believe building resilience is key to navigating our best lives as humans. All our programs are built around supporting our clients as they build up their resilience and emotional capacity.

• We offer loving, compassionate care to people –including our people. For those of us at Loving Parents to do this important work, we need to care for ourselves deeply. This is a daily practice.

• We believe Connected Community is vital to the health of humans. A Connected Community is one where we are showing up as authentic humans and expect others to do the same. A Connected Community is a group of people who feel they belong with each other.
