Centralia College’s Family and Child Studies program will offer Parenting in Recovery classes at both its main and East Lewis County campuses this summer.
Parenting in Recovery will take place Wednesdays July 2-Aug. 20. In Centralia, the class will be offered from 2:15 to 4:30 p.m. at Centralia College Home and Family Life, 420 Centralia College Blvd. In Morton, the class will take place from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at Fresh Start, 212 Second St.
Parenting in Recovery is a free class that allows parents in substance abuse recovery to focus on understanding the impact of that abuse on family dynamics, rebuild trusting relationships and renew family bonds.
