new parent support program
about
You don’t have to be a “new parent” to utilize or benefit from the New Parent Support Program. Parents and children can always learn new tools to improve family relation skills. Life changes such as a PCS or new sibling are unfamiliar situations to which our program’s classes or counseling can help your family adapt. If you have concerns or questions about babies, young children, parenting or family relationships, come and talk to us.
Pre-registration for all services is required to attend. Call for specific dates and times.
