Thank you for registering for the PASTA program.  We will be meeting via zoom from 1- 3pm the 4th Wednesday of every month.  You will receive a zoom link to join closer to the first session.  We will meet for 8 sessions, you do not have to attend to every session to join us. 

P.A.S.T.A is intended for grandparents and relatives who are parenting related children, in their custody or not.  Purpose of the workshops is to:          

          Acknowledge feelings of grandparents and children

·         Help adults feel more confident, comfortable, and informed with their situations

·         Provide a forum for discussion

·         Effective communication skills and mental health resources

·         Encourage caregivers to be advocates

·         Exploring changing relationships

·         Understanding adolescent development and expectations

·         Learning indicators of high-risk behaviors

Sessions may include visiting resource people (social workers, substance abuse counselors, etc.). One goal of the workshop is to create group cohesion and social support among the members.  Though it is important to note that this is a structured educational program not a support group.
