Syntero’s Positive Parenting Course will resume on October 28^th. The five-week course is offered free of charge for residents of Delaware and Morrow Counties. The course is intended for parents and caregivers (grandparents, other relatives, guardians, etc.) of children from birth through age 8. Participants will learn how to get more desired behaviors from their children.

Classes will cover the following information:

• The power of positive parenting techniques
• What causes kids’ behaviors
• Setting goals for change
• Tips on how to reconnect with children and build positive relationships
• Giving directions kids are likely to follow
• Recognizing progress and planning for the future

Each participant will also have three one-on-one phone/in-person sessions with group leaders to make the information work for their families. Click here to register or email Debbie Combs.

The Positive Parenting Course is sponsored by Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Ohio Children’s Trust Fund and the United Way of Delaware County Strengthening Families program.

Due to Ohio’s developing re-opening provisions, registration for Syntero’s Youth Summer Groups has been postponed, but we are still preparing to provide services for youth in grades K-12 this summer. Groups will provide students with a wide array of skills, including self-regulation, anger management, mindfulness and interpersonal effectiveness. Franklin County groups are free for any students from Dublin, Grandview, Hilliard and Upper Arlington School Districts.

Syntero Summer Prevention Programming is made possible by community funded levy dollars as distributed by the ADAMH Board of Franklin County.
