SLOCDC in SLO is hosting a Positive Opportunities for Parenting Group which focuses on father involvement and co-parenting. This is a great opportunity for families who are seeking better communication. Families need to have a father/male figure participate in the class. Their parenting partner can be a girlfriend, wife, grandmother, aunt, mother, stepmother or whoever is co-parenting.
This group starts January 23rd, see flyer for details.
Interested parents should contact Alma Bernal at 474-2141 or abernal@capslo.org
