Positive Parenting Groups
These are education/support groups which are open to the community and ongoing. They meet weekly throughout the year, with the exception of holidays. These are best suited for parents who need more flexibility with their attendance. There are several classes for parents to choose from including one for parents of teens.
Parent Aide Program
