Life Skills Class

There are 2 Life Skills’ classes available to the inmates: PARENTING AND ANGER MANAGEMENT/TRANSFORMATION. The inmates decide which class is offered. I am hoping to offer RESOURCES UPON RELEASE and the JOB’S CLASS again, once the new jail is completed.

The PARENTING CLASS that we offer is a compilation of two classes: How to be a Responsible Father/Mother – Stawar and Parenting Now – Popkin.

Topics include:

Active Parenting (ages 1 – 4, 5 – 12, and 12+) Child Development

Family Communications

Winning Cooperation

Responsibility and Discipline

Building Courage, Character, and Self-Esteem

We also work on activities that can be done with the children to help them form healthy bonds; one of those is reading. 6 male inmates and 12 female inmates completed this program in 2022.
