Planning
Special Focus Parenting
We have two new curricula
on the horizon:
1.
How to Handle Substance Abuse — a Saturday afternoon course for parents
who want to talk to their kids about substances. Each family will also receive
a free game for parents and children age 9-13 to play together which encourages
family talks.
2. “Parents Forever” —we are seeking materials
and training for this divorce/ co-parenting curriculum which is widely used
with success throughout the USA from Minnesota County Extension. It is often
done in a one day workshop.
