“Raising Parents” Open Forum
Being a parent may be one of the most joyful experiences imaginable. It can also be frustrating, maddening, exhausting, and occasionally overwhelming.
Parenting in today’s society is different from when most parents grew up. In “Raising Parents” we provide you the opportunity to learn along with other parents – sharing experiences, discussing and practicing skills together, and role-playing with each other.
Parenting is the most important job in the world, but can also be the toughest… Join us to gain tools and support. Together we can make parenting a more enjoyable experience!
From time to time, workshops on specific topics are offered. Check the Events page to see when the next program will be. For more information, please contact
