Empowering Families to Thrive
The Thrive Initiative is a portfolio of developmentally sensitive, evidence-informed parent-education programs that are designed to support parents and caregivers as they raise their children from birth until 18 years of age. The Initiative includes a series of online and face-to-face parenting programs and a variety of online resources that can be used to meet families where they are.
The four universal Thrive Initiative programs are available online and include interactive learning modules and downloadable parent resources. Immediate access to programming is granted to parents and caregivers. The federal government owns the programs and resources; therefore, they are available at no cost to military and civilian families.
Trained professionals deliver the universal face-to-face and targeted programs in an in-person format. Resources for professionals can be found under the professionals section in the site navigation.
