Concord Carlisle Adult & Community Education (CCACE) is now offering parent education programs, previously offered through the Center for Parents and Teachers (CPT). Their goal is to continue to provide expert-led programs for ongoing and new challenges facing our children and families.

This winter they have four classes that address social media, bullying, pandemic effects and building resilience. All classes are online and full descriptions can be found at concordcarlisleace.org.
