The When Families Get Angry (WFGA) classes offer a practical and realistic approach to the challenges of parenting. In this training, provided by The Virginia Cooperative Extension in both English and Spanish, parents are surrounded by other parents who share similar concerns. Parents are encouraged and supported as the program progresses over the 3-week period.
