Download current calendar | Register online |

Parenting 101 features a program by the Passage Group called "Parent to Parent - Keeping healthy families healthy." Since it's introduction in 1988, Parent to Parent has been sucessfully implemented in over 2,500 communities reaching over 2 million parents.

There are 8 videos that cover a variety of issues unique to raising teenagers in today's culture and often provoke conversation about personal experiences. Small groups meet at a variety of locations and times convenient for busy parents and grandparents. By participating in a small group, you will not only walk away with solid, practical strategies for helping to raise incredible teenagers, but you will also leave with a support group and network of adults you know on a personal level!

The groups are limited in size to about 15 parents or less. We encourage open discussion and confidentiality here. You will walk away from these sessions educated, encouraged and equipped to raise an incredible teenager!
