About the Adult Services Program

The Creative Arts Team's Parent education Program uses interactive drama workshops to provide parents the opportunity to examine situations that jeopardize family relationships. Through educational drama activities, such as role-play and improvisation, participants learn how economic, work-related and personal pressures affect the stability of the family.

CAT's professional actor/teachers involve participants in carefully designed drama exploring common issues in child rearing and household management. The program offers a unique opportunity for parents to understand the source of family conflicts and dramatize proactive solutions with their peers in a safe environment. Through this program, parents develop the tools to improve and nurture relationships within their families and become better advocates for their children.

Given the range of issues impacting families, workshops are tailored to meet the needs of specific populations. Parents find that every topic covered is one that they have been faced with within their role as ‘parent.' The bonding of shared experiences and common frustrations results in a community network that lasts beyond the duration of the workshop series.

"Things have certainly changed in my house since I've been attending these parent workshops!"
