ABOUT PARENTAL EMPOWERMENT INSTUTUTE

Executive Director’s Welcome
Hello Friends,
After teaching several years in the middle school classroom, I identified a significant gap: teachers often expect parents to reinforce learning at home, but many parents had never been given the tools, strategies, or emotional support needed to do so effectively. Parenting is one of the most demanding responsibilities in life—yet it comes with the fewest guidelines and, far too often, the greatest criticism.
Through extensive research and years of working with families, I reached a clear conclusion: parents deserve access to practical, evidence-based strategies that empower them to nurture confident, capable, and resilient children. This conviction led to the creation of the Parental Empowerment Institute.
Here, parents of every background are welcomed into a warm, supportive, judgment-free space. Our goal is straightforward: to help families grow stronger by giving parents the tools they need to feel capable and confident. We would love for you to join us! Together, we can make a lasting difference, one parent at a time.
With gratitude,
Troya Bishop, M.Ed., Ed.D.
