BEDFORD – The Lawrence County Probation Department will offer a 10-week series starting on January 25, 2024.
“The Parent Project” empowers parents to help transform their teens with social media struggles and peer pressure. Excessive use of social media has also been shown to have effects on parenting, causing parental distraction, decreasing the level of everyday parental engagement, and making a child more likely to be at risk for injury. They are disconnected from the real world to connect to the virtual world. This disconnect creates gaps in parent-child relationships.
According to Katie Messmann, the program offers so much more.
“It empowers parents and transforms teens,” she added. “Parents will learn how to never argue with their child again, how to prevent or intervene in alcohol or drug use, improve school attendance and performance, and explore concrete solutions with social media issues.”
The 10-week series will be held every Thursday from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. at the Lawrence County Probation Department at 918 16th St, Suite 600, beginning January 25, 2024, with the last session on March 28, 2024.
A $30.00 workbook fee is required.
