Workshops on parenting

((DYS) — Division of Youth Services staff, parents and teachers gathered on Feb. 17 at the Tanapag Elementary School to undergo workshops on love communication, healthy living, prevention of drug and alcohol abuse, family financial management and assistive technology.
The activity was part of the month-long celebration of Parents Leadership Month, and this year’s theme was “Family Strengthening Through Strong Parent Leadership.”
Parent leadership nominees were awarded certificates — Mary San Nicolas, Maria Esther S. Seman, Antelina Naravaez, Eric David and Vince Merfalen.
Parents Leadership Month recognizes that parent leadership is an essential and effective means of strengthening families and preventing child abuse and neglect. The program was created to recognize the extraordinary courage and determination of parents who make efforts to improve the conditions and the relationship within their families as well as the community.
