Guiding Good Choices

Guiding Good Choices gives families information and tools that work to protect preteens and teens from the inevitable risks they encounter as they become more independent. Just as important, families will learn ways to build or maintain lasting relationships, because teenagers who are more closely connected to their families have better health and educational outcomes.
Unite! Washougal Coalition promotes this training when sessions become available in our area.
Visit this page, our Events page, or contact us to learn about the next Guiding Good Choices workshop.
