The FGST program is a prevention program where 15-20 parents meet weekly and learn effective and compassionate parenting skills.

    The most helpful part about the program was learning different parenting techniques and hearing of others’ experiences. Additionally being held accountable for the changes within my own home.

    The lessons we learned we’re really valuable to me. But I also really appreciated the incentives we received to complete the program.
