Teresa
has worked with parents in many capacities since 1992. After graduating from the
University of Montana in 1991 with a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work, she began
working for Montana State University in the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education
Program. However, the need to work more closely with families in the area of parenting
moved her on to the Futures Teen Parenting Program, and she began facilitating
the Nurturing Program for teen parents in 1995.
In 2001 Teresa had a wonderful
opportunity to become the executive director of The Parenting Place in Missoula,
MT, and to continue facilitating the Nurturing Program with a wider population
of families throughout the community. She has now been facilitating the Nurturing
Parenting Programs for twelve years. Thirteen years ago, Teresa and her
daughter Heather joined forces with Dave and his three children, Jeb, David Jr.
and Jauna. As a blended family they have incorporated much of the Nurturing Program
philosophy into their own lives, managing to survive the many challenges of blending
families. Teresa's role as a parent has always been her number one priority, matched
only in the last 7 years by her role as a grandparent to Spencer, Zoe, Jace, Kaylob,
Keygan, Kyle, Vanessa and Jesse.
