Greece TOUGHLOVE to hear
speakers on PINS law changes

November 12 at 7:15 p.m. the Greece TOUGHLOVE® Parent Support Group will hear Larry Crawford, Monroe County Sheriff, on the recent change in the PINS (Persons In Need of Supervision) law and how this impacts parents. Joining him in this information session will be Karen Breslawski of the Brockport School District, who will talk about current problems in local schools.

Greece TOUGHLOVE® meetings are held every Tuesday at 7:15 p.m. at Westside Baptist Church, 3955 Mt. Read Blvd. (corner of Vintage Lane).

The TOUGHLOVE® Program is a parent support group for families that are being torn apart by unacceptable adolescent behavior. Meetings deal with behavior, not emotions, and participants advocate allowing the adolescent to experience real consequences for unacceptable behavior. No professional counselors are involved; the support group consists entirely of parents giving peer support. Group leaders are typically other parents who have successfully benefited from the TOUGHLOVE® philosophy.

The group offers a "process for change" to help parents make changes - first for themselves and their own well-being - then for the adolescent. For information leave name and phone number at 234-1836 and a TOUGHLOVE representative will return the call. Meetings are open without advance registration. A weekly $5 donation is requested to cover administrative costs. However, this fee will be waived if necessary.
