Classes are free. However, you MUST register and MUST attend all three classes to get your certificate of completion. Classes are only held in person and will not be broadcast online. Due to our limited space, children will not be allowed to accompany you in classes. Please inform us if your scheduling needs change once register; a no-call no-show will result in a two month penalty period, during which you may not reschedule for classes. You will not be considered registered until the Counselor reaches out to confirm your attendance.
