Education Programs

The goal of parent education is to reduce drug/alcohol use, teen suicide, juvenile delinquency, gang involvement, child abuse and domestic violence. Short-term objectives are to increase parents' sense of competence, positive family/parent/child interactions, positive parent/child relationships, child self-esteem and self-discipline, child social competency skills and increased parental involvement. Meetings are held in churches, schools, community agencies and other locations.
