The ACT/Raising Safe Kids Parenting Workshops will be co-facilitated by Noreen Kilduff, left, of Little Sprouts Early Learning Center, and Haley McCracken of Project Self-Sufficiency.
Project Self-Sufficiency will offer virtual parenting workshops for parents with children of all ages at 6 p.m Tuesdays, June 20-Aug. 15.
Participants will learn how to build positive parenting skills, prevent behavioral problems and encourage effective anger management.
The parenting classes follow the ACT Raising Safe Kids Program developed by the American Psychological Association. It aims to educate parents and other adults who raise and care for young children about creating environments which 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.
The sessions are free and open to the public; interested participants may 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.”
