Families First Health and Support Center provides a broad range of health and family services to individuals and families.  The primary service they provide for Wellness Strategies is parenting classes, taught by trained parent educators.  Instructors teach and model positive discipline techniques, routines that make the day go more smoothly, stress and anger management, communications skills, and information about child and teen development.  Parents who attend these classes say their family lives become smoother, less stressful, more enjoyable and more satisfying.  This can reduce absenteeism and increase productivity at work.
