Loudoun County’s Youth & Family Support Services Program is inviting parents and guardians to register for the Parenting Wisely – Teen Edition program, a free virtual workshop series scheduled from October 15 to November 12, 2025. The sessions will take place on Wednesdays from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.
The program targets families with children aged 11 to 17 who have experienced issues such as running away, failing grades, truancy or poor school attendance, drug and alcohol experimentation, or concerning behaviors including aggression at home, school, or in the community.
According to organizers, the workshop aims to equip parents with strategies and techniques to support their children and address challenging situations at home. “Parents will learn constructive skills proven to decrease problem behaviors, reduce family conflict and improve the family dynamic. The program is based on the evidence-based curriculum Parenting Wisely.”
