Sue
Laney is the Executive Director for the Family Nurturing
Center of Georgia and co-author of several curricula
including "Nurturing
God's Way®" Parenting Program for Christian
Families (http://www.nurturinggodsway.com), a
biblically-based adaptation of the Nurturing Parenting
Programs®.
As Executive Director, Ms. Laney provides leadership
and direction in carrying out the mission of the Family
Nurturing Center of GA, has overall responsibility
for developing a sound administrative structure and
various prevention programs, while maximizing financial
and staff resources. She has experience in building
a stable, predictable and diversified income base
through fund raising, service delivery, strengthening
the Board of Director's participation and leadership
(both working and advisory), and developing a strong
statewide presence.
Currently, Ms. Laney is serving as Project Director
for the “Nurturing Georgia's Families” Project
in Georgia, which provides training and consulting
of Nurturing Parenting Programs®. For almost a
decade this project has enabled organizations and
community members in Georgia to be trained for free
in the Nurturing Parenting Programs®, receive
stipends for facilitation of the programs as well
as free program materials and ongoing technical assistance
to ensure program success. Currently, the project’s
resources from the state of Georgia are in excess
of $600,000 annually to prevent substance and child
abuse.
Family Nurturing Center of Georgia, Inc., incorporated
in 2000, was established for the expressed purpose
of providing training and technical assistance in
the Nurturing Parenting Programs® and the developing,
training and consulting of other related programs
to build nurturing parenting skills in families for
preventing and treating child abuse and neglect. Research
has proven that many of the same factors for committing
acts of child abuse and neglect are also present in
substance abuse. Therefore, the Nurturing Parenting
Programs® are also used in Georgia to prevent
substance abuse. The Family Nurturing Center of Georgia
is one center within a nationwide network of resource
centers supporting the concept of nurturing.
Ms. Laney also provides training in child abuse prevention,
facilitation skills, and small business management.
She also teaches a weekly Precept Bible Study. Ms.
Laney is married, and has two grown children.
"I think you have done an excellent job in
developing this parenting program for Christian parents.
I hope that it is widely used. The many biblical references
used make parenting joyful, spiritual, forgiving and
patient. The Home Practice and Self Growth activities
are fun and will help people put learning into action.
Since I am the Director of an organization seeking
to end physical discipline of children in all settings,
I was particularly interested in how the program dealt
with this issue. You have taken a firm stand against
physical punishment of children. You have done an
excellent job of using biblical references to support
non-violent parenting. I particularly like the personal
testimonies."
