Background and Discussion:
The NACo Achievement Awards program is a non-competitive awards program that seeks to recognize innovative county government programs. The DRO's Parenting Workshop Program currently offers four separate and distinct co-parenting workshops focused specifically on mothers, on fathers, and on parents who may have been deemed by the family courts to be "high conflict" in their interactions with one another. Classes are offered in a series of two-hour sessions on evenings and weekends to accommodate the needs of working parents, and are available in both English and Spanish. The classes are offered free of charge to parents who qualify as indigent, and for those who are not, the cost is nominal. All classes are presented online in a virtual classroom by a live, interactive instructor.
