Putting Kids First has been presenting the Parenting and Co-Parenting
classes for almost twenty years in English. We are proud to now offer the
Spanish version to those who need a translated version of the most helpful
parenting class online.
Finding and attending a parenting class can often be difficult and we
found an increasing demand for Spanish speaking parents who could not find
classes in Spanish in their area. Having it online in Spanish is just
another way Putting Kids First is trying to help families.
Putting Kids First is dedicated to helping attorneys and courts to receive
a copy of a participants certificate of completion with the email and fax
request filled out by clients, when they complete the class. Two
originals are still mailed out through The United States Postal Service.
The immediate emailing or faxing of certificates can be beneficial for
those, that need a certificate for a fast approaching court date.

To all Clallam-Jefferson-Kitsap bar members:
Childhood attachment is considered by many to be the most important psychological discovery in the last 50 years. Supported by substantial neuroscience research in how childhood attachment is intimately tied to infant brain development, attachment theory has driven considerable change in how the fields of mental health, social work and conflict management understand the impact of early relationships on childhood development. More recently, attachment theory and its practical implications are being applied in the law. Prevention Works of Clallam County is pleased to announce a training on this essential topic for all family law practitioners and all other legal professionals who work with families.
The training will be led by Andrew Benjamin J.D., Ph.D., and Sarah Baxter Ph.D. Dr. Benjamin is a clinical Professor of Psychology and affiliate Professor of Law at the University of Washington, and Dr. Baxter is a clinical psychologist whose work specializes in children, families and trauma.
Please save the date. We will provide more information on the precise location, cost and agenda as it becomes available.
