Free In-Person and Online Parenting Classes

 

Parents, caregivers, and educators are invited to learn practical strategies to address common parenting challenges by attending free, in-person or online workshops and discussion groups hosted by Project Self-Sufficiency. Workshops will offer participants the tools they need to raise happy, confident children and effectively manage misbehavior; a variety of course options are available to accommodate the varied needs of participants.

 

Workshops and discussion groups will help participants identify their parenting goals, address behavioral problems, and promote healthy child development by using the Triple P Positive Parenting Program, a comprehensive education initiative targeted to parents, healthcare professionals, educators, and caregivers of infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. 

 

A Positive Parenting Course will be held at 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. at Project Self-Sufficiency and offered simultaneously on Zoom, July 10^th, 25^th, 31^st; August 7^th, 14^th, 21^st, and 28^th; and September 2^nd, 9^th, 16^th, and 23^rd.  Pizza and childcare will be available to attendees at all in-person sessions.

 

Topics covered during the Positive Parenting Course include:

·         Positive Parenting.

·         Helping Children Develop.

·         Managing Misbehavior.

·         Planning Ahead.

 

Parents who need personalized assistance are invited to make an appointment for one-on-one coaching with experienced parenting skills educators. In addition, the Triple P coursework is available online and on demand to those who cannot attend the scheduled workshops.

 

“These programs will give parents, caregivers, and educators simple and practical strategies to help build strong, healthy relationships, confidently manage children’s behavior, and reduce stress,” explains Project Self-Sufficiency Executive Director Deborah Berry-Toon.
