“Loving Solutions” classes, set to run for seven consecutive Thursdays beginning February 28, are facilitated by the department’s GUIDE program, which has a stated goal of “educat[ing] young people on self-esteem, positive decision-making, and the dangers of substance abuse and gang involvement.”
“This parenting course is designed for parents facing the challenges of strong-willed and/or out of control children,” says Penny Velasquez, director of GUIDE.
The class costs $25 for individuals, $35 for couples, and is available free of charge to active duty military parents. Sessions will take place at the Harding Community Center, located at 3096 Harding St. in Carlsbad.
