Parenting is probably the toughest job any of us will ever hold. But unlike other jobs, parenting doesn’t come with a clear-cut job description or handbook. Our Parenting Skills Classes are designed to make this job a little easier by providing parents with information, knowledge, and skills to better understand their children, their developmental needs, and parenting strategies designed to work the most effectively with your children, their temperament, and their personalities.
- Participants may be self referred or referred by others
- Mandated referrals satisfy court and DFCS / DHR requirements
