The Family and Youth Intervention Program knows that parent involvement is the key to behavior change with difficult, behaviorally challenged adolescents. The Parent Project® is a parent training program designed for parents of acting out adolescents. Topics include reducing family conflict and arguing, improving school performance and attendance, identifying and intervening with alcohol and other drug abuse, interceding with negative peer associations (including inappropriate dating relationships up to and including gang involvement) and helping parents to set effective applicable limits. Many parents attending the Parent Project® have had difficulty identifying appropriate limits and enforcing consequences consistently. Parents who attend the Parent Project are more likely to see their child’s attendance at school improve, and to require less school based disciplinary resources as parents find powerful interventions at home with which to bring about change in their children. The motto of the Parent Project® is “Parents are the answer…when they have the tools they need.” Presented three times a year in an educational format, parents are trained at the modest cost of $20 per parent, for a ten week program, and includes a 200-page workbook “A Parents’ Guide to Changing Destructive Adolescent Behavior.” Parents can contact the Family and Youth Intervention Program- 562-929-7431 to register. The next 10 week series starts on February 6th at the Betty Wilson Center located at 11641 Florence Avenue, in Santa Fe Springs at 6:00 p.m.
