Tioga County Department of Human Services - Support, Teach, and Educate Parents (STEPS)

Voluntary, in-home program offered to families who are receiving children and youth services. Using a variety of methods and materials, workers teach parenting, household management, child development and anger management skills. A parent can count on their STEPs worker to be a helper who can be called upon for parental advice and direction, to be an advocate who will work with them on solving household management problems and to be a support person for the times when they just need someone to talk to about being a parent.
