Build on your parenting skills at your own pace
The BC Council for Families has partnered with Online Parenting Programs to offer parenting courses that families can complete at their own schedule and pace. We are offering eight cost-effective 12 unit courses on parenting children from infancy to their late teens, conflict reduction and management and co-parenting.
The courses are designed for families facing challenges to better understand their situations and build skills that will have a positive outcome for everyone in the family. If you are unable, or feel uncomfortable attending a structured program with other parents, learning online will give you more control and autonomy.
