Parenting Programs
The Safe and Drug Free Department offers a variety of topical programs for parents
affiliated with Bucks County public and non-public schools in grades K- 12. The
content areas of these programs include alcohol/tobacco/other drug prevention,
violence prevention, and parenting skills. Each of the programs is facilitated
by an Education Specialist and can be tailored to meet the needs of the affiliated
parent group or school. The training can be conducted off-site at a location
within Bucks County. A sampling of the program offerings includes:
- Parent to Parent - A video-based workshop for parents to learn specific
skills in order to raise drug-free and responsible children. This multi-session
program also allows for the exchange of ideas among attending parents.
- How to Raise Responsible Children - Raising responsible children
is difficult in this world where children are immersed in a "toxic culture." Using

around raising children and walk away armed with new parenting tips and insight.
