Parents need just as much guidance and support as youth do.
Parents are their children’s first and most important teachers. But sometimes, they need a little extra help dealing with the challenges that arise. They need the opportunity to learn effective parenting strategies, build skills, and discuss their issues with other parents.
Friends of Youth offers several parenting education classes throughout our community that provide the tools parents need to encourage the development of strong healthy families.
