We are pleased to participate in this new pilot program for never married parents with minor children.

This program is a five hour program presented on two consecutive Wednesday evenings from 6-8:30 PM. The program is led by two facilitators (one male/one female), and uses videos, discussions and presentations to help encourage co-parenting.

Participants will discuss the importance of parents to children’s growth and development, learn co-parenting skills, better understand children and their developmental needs, and how to deal with their children in a compassionate and supportive manner.

How to register? It’s very easy to register. Call the center at 978.922.2280 and speak with our secretary who will set you up with a class. Parents cannot attend together. They must be in separate sessions but can come to the same program. You must pre-register, so call to reserve your spot.

There is no cost for those referred through the court, although there are the following conditions:

• You must have a docket number from the court
• Paternity must have been established
• Parents cannot have joint custody
• No foster parents, step-parents or grand-parents

If you do not meet these requirements, and wish to take the course, the fee is $80.

Childcare is not provided, so please do not bring your children.

Certificates of Completion are given after the second session. Participants also receive a parent handbook.
