Fairfield Police Announce Next Parent Project Class

From the Fairfield police Department:

The Fairfield Police Department will host another Parent Project Class for parents or guardians of adolescent or pre-adolescent children starting Tuesday, March 17, 2013 at 6:00 p.m. at the Sullivan Inter-Agency Youth Services Center in Fairfield.

The Parent Project class will be held each Tuesday for nine weeks and teaches a step-by-step action plan and effective intervention techniques that allows parents to take immediate steps to strongly influence their child’s negative choices.

Parents will gain tools and support to understand and communicate more effectively with their child, provide structure and active supervision, identify and intervene with drug/alcohol use, and improve school attendance. Parents will also learn how to identify whether their child is involved in gang activity and other destructive behavior.

Parent Project instructors are members of the Fairfield Police Department and non-law enforcement professionals. There is a one-time fee of $25 for the parent workbook, which is due at the time of registration.

Fairfield Police Department offers several Parent Project classes, both in English and Spanish, throughout the year.

To register for this class, or for more information, contact the Fairfield Police Department Parent Project Coordinator, Jeff Conner, at (707) 428-7673 or by email at jconner@fairfield.ca.gov .
