Each series of the Parenting Children of Divorce program is led by an attorney or a mental health professional. The Family Life Council offers trainings to local volunteers who are then asked to lead one series per year. At times, trainings are offered to other agencies in N.C. and surrounding states so that they can develop and implement their own Parenting Children of Divorce program.

To learn more about either local or regional trainings, contact the Family Life Council at 336-333-6890 ext. 227 or email us at info@flcgso.com.

Healthy Communities •Healthy Youth Facilitator Training

Healthy Communities•Healthy Youth is a national initiative to unite communities for children and adolescents.  The initiative seeks to focus on the strengths or assets of our youth and foster a sense of shared responsibility for all young people.  At the heart of the initiative is information about 40 “developmental assets” that all young people need. Level I and Level II trainings will give you the tools to become a spokesperson for “asset building” in your own organization or circle of influence.  The Level 2 Training is a continuation of the Level 1 Facilitators Training and will focus on skills and resources needed to educate others about the “asset philosophy” and the 40 developmental assets.  Participants will practice scripts for presentations.  Adults and teens are invited. 

To learn more about Healthy Communities•Healthy Youth, call the Family Life Council at 336-333-6890 ext. 221 or email us at info@gcmarriage.org.
