July is Purposeful Parenting Month

Being a good parent means having the right tools and knowledge to care for and communicate with children. Parents of young children, teens, and young adults can easily access these tools and knowledge through parenting classes, seminars, and workshops. Numerous programs like these are offered to help parents and families work as a stronger unit and are available to parents, foster families, soon-to-be parents, and caregivers within Montgomery County.

Contact Montgomery County’s Childlink at 240-777-4769 for more information about parenting programs.
