The Greene County Family Center is part of a statewide pilot program aimed at helping parents who are dealing with addiction to balance that struggle with their obligations to their families.
The center began offering the seven-week Families in Recovery class Jan. 8, with a new one to start Feb. 26. The curriculum, which was first used last fall at the Hamilton Health Center in Harrisburg, was developed by the Pennsylvania Family Support Alliance, a statewide nonprofit that works to prevent child abuse and neglect.
In Greene County, the classes are offered through the family center’s Supportive and Affective Family Education, or SAFE, parenting program.
