Educational/training classes

The Ark offers two types of classes that have been approved by many state agencies, including DFCS and the court system.

1.Parenting and support classes
Our parenting and support classes are taught by licensed professionals with family therapy experience. They are scheduled in six-week increments for 1½ hours for each session (total of 9 hours). These classes may meet the requirements for DFCS guidelines and the court system. (Participants are encouraged to get approval from the DFCS office they are assigned to prior to enrolling in the classes.)

Each participant is given a certificate of completion with the number of sessions attended. Upon request, the staff also provides a statement of a parents’ involvement level to the agency mandating these classes.Stress and anger management classes.


2. Stress and anger management classes
