GGC Registration Extended!

Five Town Communities That Care has extended the registration deadline for its Guiding Good Choices (GGC) workshop series for parents of children who are aged 9-14.  Registrations will be accepted until Wednesday, October 22, and the series will begin Tuesday, Oct. 28.

 

GGC is a free, five-part series that is nationally recognized for its effectiveness in helping parents influence their children to make healthy choices. In research studies the program has been shown to improve parenting skills and the quality of parent-child interactions, to reduce adolescent substance abuse, to reduce adolescent depressive symptoms, and to reduce rates of self-harm by teens. 

 

The workshops series will meet Tuesday evenings, October 28 – December 9, (no meeting Nov. 11 or Nov. 25) at Camden Hill Regional High School. All sessions begin at 5 PM (with a free dinner for the entire family from 5-5:30) and end at 7:30 PM.  Free onsite childcare is offered while parents are in the workshops from 5:30 to 7:30.

 

For more information, or to register, call 236-9800 or email info@fivetownctc.org.  You can download a registration form here.
