Healthy Archuleta is committed to supporting families at every stage of life and building strong families through connection. Parenting young children can be deeply rewarding, but it can also bring moments of stress, uncertainty and overwhelm.
Big emotions, power struggles and challenges at home are common experiences for families, and Healthy Archuleta wants parents to know they are not alone.
Healthy Archuleta is offering virtual child-parent relationship therapy (CPRT), a supportive, play-based program designed for parents of young children, for ages 3 to 10. CPRT focuses on strengthening connection and trust between parents and children while helping parents learn practical, relationship-based skills to respond to challenging behavior with confidence and care.
Unlike traditional parenting programs that emphasize discipline or correction, CPRT centers on the parent-child relationship and uses play, a child’s natural language, as the foundation for understanding and connection.
Parents learn new skills in a small, judgment-free group led by trained, bilingual therapists, and practice those skills with their own child through guided “special playtime.” As parents build empathy and attunement, many families can experience reduced stress at home and stronger emotional bonds.
The CPRT group will meet for 10 weekly sessions, each lasting 90 minutes. Families will gather at a central location in Pagosa Springs and connect virtually via Zoom with bilingual therapists who facilitate the sessions, creating a supportive space for learning and reflection.
Child care will be available to help reduce barriers to participation.
Healthy Archuleta is currently gathering interest from families to confirm scheduling and determine whether the first group will be offered in English or Spanish. Completing the interest form is not a commitment, but it is an important step in helping align family availability with therapist schedules so the program can begin as soon as possible.
Through programs like CPRT, Healthy Archuleta continues its work of strengthening families and fostering resilience across the community. By centering connection, understanding and support, the organization is helping families build relationships that last.
