Parent Orientation Session:

Go to the Wednesday parenting class orientation even if you have not been required to take a parenting  class yet, it will give you a registration and parenting class referral, which puts you a step ahead of your caseworker."Orientations  -  Wednesday

at 2:00p.m.  Granite Regional Office Park,  3331 Power  Inn  Road  (Clock Tower).

Goal: The orientation session provides information about the Juvenile Court process and services.

Parents can pre-register for a DHHS parenting class at that time."

"In general, all classes are for parents of children ages birth to 18 years. However, in addition to providing basic parenting-discipline - communication information, another goal of the classes is to provide group experience at which time parents can talk about individual parenting problems.  Therefore whenever possible, encourage your parent to take a class."

Specialized Parenting Classes: "If you have a special needs or teenage child, please contact one of the Parenting Instructors for an appropriate referral."
