No parent should feel alone! At Family Paths, we care deeply about you and our community. We understand that accessing services can be challenging, whether due to waiting lists, financial constraints, or simply navigating the process. Our monthly workshops are offered to provide general information and education, not intended to diagnose, treat, or manage mental health conditions.
Led by the dynamic Otis Ward, a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, parents will leave these monthly classes with tips, tools, resources and the comfort that you are not alone.
If interested in signing up, please contact Otis Ward at oward@familypaths.org.
