Parent Project is a 10-week series where we go over topics like improving family relationships, using effective discipline to improve school attendance and performance, reduce substance use and negative peer influences, and how to address destructive behavior. It is an opportunity to meet with other parents in similar situations in a judgement free zone and begin to develop a new support system. When you feel like you have tried everything and nothing is working, we can help.
Classes will be held on Tuesdays from 6:00pm - 8:00pm at the Gene Lucas Community Center beginning May 7th and ending July 9th.
Please contact Raven Majors at fortunatc@bgcredwoods.org or 707-617-8160 to register.
