THE ADOLESCENT BRIEF INTERVENTION PROGRAM

          

 

 

Guiding Good Choices® is a 5 week program that is designed to help parents learn to communicate with their children.  It teaches the parents how to talk to their children, and it teaches the children the refusal skills needed to ensure that peer pressure is not an influence.  If you are the parent of a 9-14 year old student in the Monadnock Region, and you are interested in participating, please contact Monadnock Voices for Prevention to get registered for the next class!
