Parent Empowerment Program
The Parent Empowerment Program (P.E.P.) is designed to build stronger families. Moms and dads can gain valuable skills and resources to help with the challenges of parenting though these helpful workshops. Workshop topics include parenting skills, child discipline, child development, stress managment, relationships, labor and delivery, nutrition and feeding, spiritual issues, finances, job and education options, and more!
