The Parent Academy will focus on strengthening parents' tobacco and drug education. Through

this academy we desire to increase parents’ knowledge in a way that allows them to have an

open conversation in the home with their children about tobacco use and prevention. The Parent

Academy will also assist parents who struggle with tobacco and drug use in finding support and

increasing their personal health.

The Parenting Academy program will meet monthly for an hour and a half. Information sessions

at these meetings will target education on preventing the initiation and use of tobacco among

children and teens. Dinner and childcare will be provided free of charge. Participation rewards will be given out each month. Free quarterly family fun nights will be held in the community. At the completion of the 8 month program certificates will be given to parents and teens.
