Parents placed on community supervision may be required to attend a parenting class through ESCAPE Family Resource Center within three months of their initial reporting. The classes are taught by professionals and they focus on important topics such as; managing stress, communicating with children and the other parent, resolving conflict, learning discipline, and co-parenting.
Dads Count and Building New Beginnings
The two classes that ESCAPE offers for community supervision participants are
Dads Count and
Building New Beginnings. An officer will provide a voucher that allows a parent to attend the classes for free and they are held on both weekdays and weekends. Many of the classes also include child care. For more information, visit ESCAPE's website at:
