Parenting Classes

Directory of Parenting Classes

Just as parenting classes vary widely, so do parents and families! Parents can be anyone in the primary care-giving role: biological parents, foster parents, stepparents, grandparents, extended family members and chosen family or friends. Please take time to check out the details of each class to see if they are a good fit for you and your family. There is a list of online options at the bottom of the page. If you are looking for an option that meets specific criteria (such as case plans from court), be sure to double-check that the classes meet those requirement.

Our Resource & Referral staff are also available in-person or over the phone to talk with caregivers about questions or concerns about how their child is developing and resources for children and families. Call us at (707) 444-8293 for more information.

Parenting classes are offered periodically, depending on demand and resources available. We do our best to update this list as often as possible, but please be sure to reach out to the contact person listed to check on dates, times, and eligibility!
