On the heels of the recent Drug Summit for Parents, parents and caregivers in St. Mary’s County are invited to participate in a series of free interactive workshops, which explores the challenges and skills in navigating adolescents through the important “drug-free” years. Guiding Good Choices (GGC) is a nationally recognized program that encourages participants to work together, with a certified facilitator, to identify opportunities within these years, to reduce family conflict, build family bonds, establish clear and consistent guidelines and teach children skills to resist peer influence. The program is tailored for parents and caregivers of children ages 9-14, but is fun and relevant for parents of children of any age. GGC will be offered on five consecutive Wednesday evenings from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m., May 7 through June 4. The workshops will be held at Jobs Connections, 46940 South Shangri-La Drive in Lexington Park. The training and materials are free, but registration is required. Each set of classes also offers free child care and free transportation for those in the Lexington Park, Great Mills and Park Hall areas. For more information or to register, please contact the Department of Aging & Human Services, Division of Human Services at 301-475-4200, ext. 1681 or e-mail Matt Reisdorph at Matt.Reisdorph@stmarysmd.
