Arcata Police Department’s (APD) Juvenile Diversion Program is pleased to announce that registration for the next Parent Project course session is open for enrollment.
The Juvenile Diversion Program provides services to at-risk students and their families with help from Juvenile Diversion Counselors who directly serve inside Northern Humboldt County Schools.
The Parent Project course sessions are parent-training classes designed for primary caregivers who want help improving their child’s school attendance and performance. The program also teaches intervention and prevention techniques to help improve communication with strong-willed teens, prevent drug-use and gang involvement and it puts caregivers in contact with local resources that offer additional family support.
Parent Project classes will take place once a week for a 10-week period from Tuesday, Sept. 5 to Tuesday, Nov. 14 from 5:45 to 8 p.m. at Sunny Brae Middle School located at 1430 Buttermilk Ln, Arcata. A $50 materials fee is required, but fee waivers are always available to those in need.
Dinner and a free youth recreational program will be provided at no cost to parents and caregivers while they attend the course. To register, visit parentproject.com/classes/parent-project-47 or call (707) 825-2535.
APD’s Juvenile Diversion Program, in partnership with Sunny Brae Middle School, has been made possible thanks to Title II grant funding. For more information about the Juvenile Diversion program, or to inquire about Parent Project courses, please call (707) 825-2535.
