Project Self-Sufficiency to offer parenting workshops online and in person

September 9, 2026 - 13:09

NEWTON, N.J. - Project Self-Sufficiency is set to launch a fresh lineup of parenting courses this September, giving families the choice to attend sessions either from home or in person. The organization, known for its wide range of family support services, has tailored the new series to meet the needs of parents and caregivers at different stages of raising children.

The workshops will cover practical topics like building positive communication, managing difficult behaviors, and strengthening the bond between parent and child. Organizers say the goal is not just to offer advice, but to give real tools that can be used the same day. Some sessions will be hands-on, with role-playing and group discussion, while others will focus on specific age groups, from toddlers to teenagers.

Instructors will lead the same material in both formats, so participants can pick what works best for their schedule and comfort level. Online classes will be held through a simple video platform, and in-person spots are limited to keep groups small and interactive.

Project Self-Sufficiency staff note that parenting does not come with a manual, but these workshops aim to fill that gap with evidence-based strategies and peer support. Registration is now open, and the organization is encouraging early sign-up because past sessions have filled quickly. No prior experience is needed, and both new parents and seasoned caregivers are welcome. More details on specific dates and times will be shared directly with those who register.
