Project Self-Sufficiency will offer online workshops for parents with children of all ages beginning at the end of January.
Participants will learn how to build positive parenting skills, prevent behavioral problems and encourage effective anger management.
The course will be offered from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays, Jan. 24-March 14.
The parenting classes follow the ACT Raising Safe Kids Program developed by the American Psychological Association, which aims to educate parents and other adults who raise and care for young children about creating environments that protect them from violence.
Classes are co-sponsored by the Journey Family Success Center and Project Sussex Kids, the Sussex County Council for Young Children.
They are free and open to the public, but registration is required. Call 973-940-3500 for log-in details.
“The ACT Raising Safe Kids curriculum is based on the premise that effective parenting is an important factor in preventing behavioral issues and violence,” said Deborah Berry-Toon, executive director of Project Self-Sufficiency. “We are delighted to continue offering these innovative parenting courses to the general public.”
