For Kids’ Sake
A program for parents, step-parents, and grandparents who share custody or visitation of a child, whether or not there was ever a marriage. The class is taught by licensed therapists and is appropriate for adults who are currently going through the courts as well as those who have been separated for years.
Class is always held at the Mary Switzer building on the campus of WWRC, from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. The cost is $45 (book and snack provided). Reduced fee and scholarships are available.
Guiding Good Choices
This class meets once a week for 5 weeks and focuses on helping parents lower the likelihood that their 8-16 year olds will participate in risky behaviors, especially drug use.
Topics include risk and protective factors, family bonding, managing anger and conflict, and refusal skills that go well beyond “just say no.” Classes are held at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Waynesboro on Tuesday evenings, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. Book, child care and meal will be provided for the cost of $25 per person.
Love and Logic
This is a 7 week class appropriate for parents and caregivers of preschoolers, teenagers, and all ages in between. Parents learn to replace anger with empathy and allow natural and logical consequences to do the teaching.
We cover a wide variety of topics, including tantrums at Wal-Mart, truancy, bedtime battles and shoplifting. The next class will be held in Staunton during the day and is currently in the process of being scheduled. Child care and snacks will be provided.
Parent Support Group
This group is open to any person who has participated in either Love and Logic or Guiding Good Choices. It will meet 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. on the last Wednesday of each month at the Nelson Street Teen Center in Staunton. Child care will be provided.
