Decision Skills course is an innovative method of teaching parents simple skills to manage conflicts and negotiate decisions.

Join us for an engaging class focused on the four decision-making skills that allow families to gain the skills they need to work together in making decisions. Discover new ways to approach challenges and make informed choices together.
New Ways for Families Decision Skills course offers a new method that has been designed to be simple and repetitive, so that almost all parents can learn these skills and apply them in their lives when dealing with each other, with their children, and with anyone.
Many of these decisions need to be made with a former spouse or partner who may have temporary or long-term difficulty in making reasonable decisions.
This in-person event will be held at the PACE Centre (use west side doors). Light refreshments will be served.
