John Muir Health is offering a series of classes to help parents gain the skills and confidence to deal with their teen and pre-teen children. The two courses – Loving Solutions and Parent Project – will be offered at the John Muir Health Outpatient Center in Brentwood, 2400 Balfour Road.

Loving Solutions, designed for parents of children 5-12, addresses parents’ most serious questions regarding raising their pre-teen. The classes are held Wednesdays, Feb. 23 through April 13 from 4 to 6 p.m. The cost of the seven-week series is $90. The 10-week Parent Project series provides parents specific prevention and intervention strategies for destructive behaviors in teens 13 and older.

The programs are facilitated by Gabriel Welcher of the John Muir Behavioral Health Center. For more information or to register, call 925-941-7900 or visit www.johnmuirhealth.com/classes.
