Boys and Girls Clubs of Western Nevada offer free 6-week parenting clinic
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Western Nevada is hosting a free, 6-week parenting workshop beginning Wednesday, Aug. 30 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Carson City clubhouse located at 1870 Russell Way. Free dinner is provided for participating families.
Led by Jill Packman, PhD, the workshops are designed to provide parents with tools and hands-on exercises to help parents build stronger, more positive relationships with their children. Topics covered include communicating with children and providing positive discipline and redirection of negative behaviors, as well as providing parents tools and hand-on exercises to make them more successful.
Packman is a credentialed marriage and family therapist, school counselor and school psychologist.
The workshops run through Oct. 4. Families completing the full 6-week program will receive a $75 gas gift card.
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Western Nevada has been a cornerstone of the community since opening its doors in 1993. Serving some 1,800 youth, Boys and Girls Clubs of Western Nevada provides a safe, structured and positive environment for young people after school, during holidays and summer vacation in six locations around Carson City and Douglas County.
