The Parent Child Center's prevention programs work to help families learn information and skills to provide a safe home and to nurture their child's physical, emotional and intellectual development, so that children can grow up to become responsible, productive citizens of our community and loving parents themselves some day. 

If abuse or neglect has occurred, The Parent Child Center's treatment programs help parents and children alike begin to heal from the hurts they have suffered.

The Parent Child Center provides Great Beginnings Tulsa, a home visit program to assess families for strengths and needs, enhance family functioning, promote a positive parent-child relationship, and to advance healthy early childhood growth and development. 

The Parent Child Center also offers Safe Care, a home visitation program for families in critical situations.  And The Parent Child Center provides two masters trained case managers to work with pregnant women being seen at local women's health clinics as part of the Healthy Start program.

The Parent Child Center's Never Shake A Baby outreach at Tulsa area hospitals teaches parents of newborns how to prevent shaken baby syndrome.  This initiative was named "2004 Outstanding Program" by the Office of Child Abuse Prevention at the Oklahoma Health Department.

The Parent Child Center offers Adult Treatment services that include individual and family counseling, plus treatment groups for parents impacted by abuse and neglect.   Parent Education classes are provided as a part of both Treatment and Prevention services.

The Parent Child Center also offers Children's Treatment services that include counseling and therapeutic play and art when working with young children.  We are one of only two Supervised Visitation & Exchange programs in Oklahoma associated with the national network for providing high quality, trained independent observation for family visits and exchanges. 

The Homeless Shelter Program provides parent education, family bonding activities, and crisis intervention for homeless families residing at the Tulsa County Emergency Shelter.

Masters & Ph.D. level therapists also respond to calls to our Crisis Line...24-hours a day, 365 days a year.

The Kids on the Block (KOB) puppet program enriches personal safety programs/curriculums in schools and community organizations for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. The Parent Child Center of Tulsa recruits and trains volunteers as puppeteers to perform skits using child-size puppets on topics such as personal safety and physical and sexual abuse.  

A counselor must be present at all KOB programs.  To schedule a puppet presentation, call our Outreach Coordinator at (918) 699-0503.
