EPIC Parenting Program (The Center for Alcohol and Drug Resources/CAFS)
In 12 two-hour sessions, you will learn to keep the “loving connection” from infancy, through elementary school, throughout the difficult years of adolescence, and beyond. Groups are generally made up of 8-12 people of all ages, who may be single parents or couples, and come from various backgrounds. A certificate of completion is awarded at the end of the series.
You will experience increased confidence, a more positive view of your role as a parent, greater the levels of interaction and improved relationships with your children, and gain a set of skills to use as your children grow. Your children will become better prepared for school and personal success.
The EPIC program has been recognized countywide and statewide for being cost efficient, results oriented, and parent friendly.

- Characteristics of an Effective Parent
