By the end of the program parents and guardians will be educated on methods to surround teens with positive relationships and opportunities that are important for a successful future.

Participation Information:

This is a series class and participants must plan on attending all five weeks. 

Certificates for participation are provided upon completion of the series. In order to receive a certificate, participants must actively participate in the webinar throughout all five sessions. 

Participants have the option to attend and actively participate via computer, or an app on a tablet or smartphone. Attendees can also listen to the presentation via phone (by calling in), but active participation is difficult over the phone due to the webinar format.
