Here at the Garfield Park Academy, we understand that those who are raising children and teenagers may feel hard pressed on all sides. However, in spite of the societal pressures and regardless of our backgrounds, communities and cultures, it is possible to raise healthy, productive and responsible young people in today’s society. With this aim in mind, the Garfield Park Academy is offering a year long Parent Education Program (PEP) to help parents deal with the problems of raising their children and adolescents.

Parents/Guardians and Social Workers will all work together in order to facilitate maximum support and education in these monthly sessions. The goals of the program are to encourage mutual respect between the parent and child as well as foster cooperation, responsibility, and self-reliance.

There will also be opportunities for parents and guardians to discuss their own feelings and ideas as well as find support and encouragement from other group members.

PEP will meet virtually twice a month from 1 PM to 2 PM only. Please RSVP by calling your child’s Social Worker at the school or our Director of Social Work (Audra Snyder at 609-877-4111, Ext. 236) to attend. The sessions begin in September and end in June via Zoom.

Again, please call your child’s Social Worker or our Director of Social Work (number above) to reserve your spot and for the Zoom invitation information
