About KBP
3 Domains of Development
KBP uses a holistic approach to transform the juvenile justice system which involves family engagement with a focus on trauma informed responses to adverse childhood experiences, communities, and school curriculum using protective factors and parents as leaders.
Goals
Our Curriculum called Knowledge Based Parenting (KBP) introduces a powerful paradigm shift and solution to how we have historically thought about and approached juvenile delinquency and diversion.
Our model creates collaboration, active participation and equal partners in the process of guiding children's/teen’s education and social/emotional development. When collaborative partnerships are formed, collaboration promotes dialogue among children/teens, parents, teachers, and officers, resulting in positive changes and diverting the path to delinquency.
