Parent Programs:
The Parent Project is offered through the City of Thousand Oaks Police Department. This program was created for parents with difficult or out-of-control adolescents. Parents learn and practice specific prevention and intervention strategies for destructive behaviors-truancy, alcohol and other drug use, gangs, occult practices, running away, violence, and suicide. More information is available on the official website for Parent Project.
