By means of a 2 day LEADER training, scheduled for March 10 & 11, 2009, the participants in the LEADER training will learn how to use the combination video, discussion, and group activities to conduct Parent evenings in their own schools.
Active Parenting of Teens, has been revised for 2009: a new video, all new books, a new look, but with the same effective Active Parenting skills. It is a video-based discussion program teaching parents the skills they need to address such critical issues as drugs and alcohol use, teen sexuality and violence.
This training will cater to a total of 20 participants for now, among which are teachers, social workers, student guidance counselors and parents.
Active Parenting is not just helping parents; it is helping children, teachers and other members of the community by strengthening families. It‘s to help parents learn how to deal with their teens in a positive way.
The initiative is funded by USONA as part of the implementation of the Project Plan VSBO, Sint Maarten.
