BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – Wednesday evening, our agency had the honor of presenting our “It’s Time To Be A Parent Again” program to members of Calvary Chapel Melbourne.

“It’s Time To Be A Parent Again” is an innovative program that is designed to re-empower parents to be the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in their child’s life.

In addition, the program provides parents with the tools they need to steer their kids away from trouble and toward success.

I would like to personally thank the Pastors and Staff of Calvary Chapel Melbourne for inviting me and our team to speak during their Wednesday night service and also thank everyone in attendance for taking part in this very important seminar.

If you are interested in hosting one of our “It’s Time To Be A Parent Again” presentations, please contact our Community Relations Unit at 321-264-7755.
