Openings are still available for participation in the new parenting classes underway at the John Muir Outpatient Center in Brentwood. The classes are held Tuesdays through May 25.

Loving Solutions and Parent Project are designed to help parents gain the confidence and skills to deal with strong-willed children. Loving Solutions is for parents with children 5 to 12; Parent Project Senior is for parents with kids 13 and older.

Gabriel Welcher, clinical outreach coordinator and Parent Project facilitator for John Muir Behavioral Health Center in Brentwood, teaches the two courses under the Parent Project umbrella, a nationally recognized parenting program based on proven strategies for bringing discipline and order back to the family.

The cost is $90 for each seven-week series and includes registration and materials. For more information or to sign up for one or both sessions, call 925-941-7900 or visit www.johnmuirhealth.com/whcclasses.
