"Active Parenting NOW in 3" LEADERS have been trained and a total of 50 LEADERS have received an official Active Parenting Certificate. This school year DERPI, is pleased to have the support of Telephone Company TELEM, and their certified LEADER Mr. J Carty.
The involvement of the businesses and other organizations in the field is very essential and important. This will allow parents to enjoy and learn more about parenting on the job. DERPI will approach more businesses and other organizations in this coming calendar year, in joining the "Active Parenting" Program.
To guarantee the continuation of this program, the founder Dr. M. Popkin, will once again pay a visit to Sint Maarten for a special Training of Trainers. A group of 15 participants have been selected to take part in this initiative. They will be trained to become the Active Parenting support platform in order to "spread" the information and reach out to more parents on the Island of Sint Maarten.
This special training is scheduled for January 20, 21 and 22 and will be held at the Carl's and Son Conference Center in Cole Bay.
On January 22, Dr. M. Popkin will address all certified "Active Parenting" LEADERS during a handing over ceremony of the LEADER Certificates.
Success of this program is fundamental for our society, but will only succeed with the imput and involvement of the society!!
