Parenting Class

Our parenting classes follow the Breakthrough Parenting Program by Dr. Jayne Major PhD. We have customized the curriculum to meet the particular needs of parents facing divorce and custody. Single parents and remarried parents have more challenges than intact families when it comes to helping their children grow and develop. Because of this we provide personalized tools so moms and dads can develop strategies to effectively parent their children. We also include a child's component for the benefit of the entire family. This eight week course satisfies the court requirements for parenting classes.
