Parent Education and Drug Prevention Program
Parent Education and Drug Prevention Program Overview
Funded by the Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith and Family: AZ Parents Commission on Drug Education & Prevention
The Parent Education & Drug Prevention program strengthens family bonds and improves family management, interaction and communication, while providing parents with the skills to talk with their children about alcohol and drug use.
This FREE program uses evidence-based curriculums listed below to give parents the proven tools, strategies, and resources to prevent underage drinking and drug use. All participants complete a customer satisfaction survey and receive a certificate of completion at the end of the program. Friendly House’s Parent Education Trainers are fully bilingual and nationally certified to teach.
We also host about 3-5 annual community resource fairs for the community where we partner with other agencies to provide more prevention information and services to better serve families in Maricopa County.
If you would like to register for the class, or have workshops delivered at your school, faith-based organization or community center in Phoenix, please contact the Parent Education team at 602-416-7225 OR email us at pedp@friendlyhouse.org .
