Nobody’s Perfect Parenting Program

NOBODY'S PERFECT is a parenting education and support program for parents of children from birth
to age five. It is designed to meet the needs of parents who are young, single, socially or
geographically isolated or who have low income or limited formal education.

The NOBODY'S PERFECT Program is based on the principles of adult education – it builds on what
parents already know and do for themselves and their children.

It starts with the parents' personal experiences and interests and actively involves participants in the learning process. It builds networks among parents and encourages them to see one another as sources of advice and support.

It is flexible, it is learner centered, and built on respect.

How the Program Works ...
The program is usually offered in a series of six to eight weekly group sessions delivered by a Nobody’s Perfect trained facilitator. The program is offered free to parents. The organization sponsoring the program provides transportation, child care and snacks during the sessions, thus reducing barriers to attendance. Parents are also given a Parenting Book resource kit free of charge. Participation in the program is voluntary.

Becoming a Nobody’s Perfect Facilitator…
It is important that prospective facilitators are aware of the role she/he is being trained for. Newly
trained facilitators must be able to deliver the program in a group setting and a commitment to
implement Nobody’s Perfect after completion of the training is required. A certificate will be issued
upon completion of the first Nobody’s Perfect parenting group. Facilitators and sponsoring
organizations must also be willing to provide the provincial coordinator with statistical information
and participate in program evaluation activities as required.
The Nobody's Perfect facilitator training is a four-day training session which covers the concepts and
skills necessary to work with parents in a group setting. The training covers:
• Key concepts of the program and materials
• adult education principles
• organizing and planning program sessions
• developing and practicing facilitation skills
Participants will also receive a Facilitator's Guide and a Parent Kit.
Training sessions are typically held three times per year throughout Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan
Prevention Institute is the provincial coordinator for the Nobody’s Perfect Program in Saskatchewan.
The cost for the training is $200 (subject to increase if necessary). The sponsoring organization is
responsible for costs for the participant to attend the training (travel, accommodations, etc.) as well as
costs associated with implementing the program.
