Background:
Michelle Jensen has a diverse background encompassing a variety of experience teaching, creating, and implementing programs from 1975 to 1978 for two Girls Clubs in Santa Barbara, CA, including serving as the Teen Director of the Goleta Valley Girls club. She was also the creator of the first Career Development program for teen girls at that club. She has worked extensively with communities to establish rapport and working relationships with service and business agencies who complement one another.
| After her son was born in 1990, she began a business called “Precious Creations” and helped create and co-author a workbook on self-esteem. It is called “Evolution of the Self,” by psychologist Clarise Blanchard, Charlaine Froide, and Michelle Jensen. Through games and exercises, it is to be used by new parents and teachers to help bring fresh consciousness of the importance of the child’s spirit and how much they have to teach us. Michelle also co-authored “The Effective Guide to Parenting.” |  |
After receiving her Master’s Degree in Psychology with an emphasis on Parenting, she has worked extensively with parents in many areas, including Child Development, Grief/Loss, and Single Parenting issues. Through her experience and extensive research, she has determined that prevention is the key to helping many people.
Michelle started The Parent Resource Center, LLC in 2004 and has been counseling, creating parent programs, and helping parents with their personal growth issues ever since. The latest Parent Training is called “A Blueprint for Parenting Children ages 0 to 7”. This 2018 video is for parents as well as for counselors, marriage and family therapists, parent educators, and group facilitators.
In 2005 she received a grant from Rogue Valley Medical Hospital Birth Center to teach the First Time Moms class to North Medford High School students.
During the years of 2006-2008 she taught parenting classes for the New Beginnings Parenting enhancement program created by David Bones.
In 2018 Michelle has released the video A Blueprint for Parenting Ages 0 to 7, both for parents as well as for counselors, marriage and family therapists, and teachers.
