Parenting Session last night

Lisa and Jim put on a good parenting session last night here at the Mid Town Family Resource Center. Randy Simmons and Beverly Shelton, from Wood County schools led the session. 3 community parents, and two foster parents from CHS attended, as well as one teen, and three of our staff. So it made for a good discussion group and good "kick off" to some parenting of teens support, originating out of Jim and Lisa's ideas that support parents can assist with alleviating the stressors that might led to youth homelessness. The participants seemed to appreciate the session, and the opportunity to hear that others are going through similar challenges with the teens in their life. Communication was the focus of this session. Great job getting this off the ground, Lisa and Jim!!! We'll be eager to hear about next steps and follow up!
