Parent and Guardian Empowerment (PAGE)

PAGE works with youth and their families living in Fayette County. Our program strives to empower parents and guardians to gain the skills and confidence needed to guide and inspire their youth. Social workers meet with each family to assess challenges and develop a service plan with the goal of preventing future behavioral issues. PAGE aims to support program participants in reaching their highest potential and prevent youth from being involved in the juvenile justice system. Successful completion of the program helps reduce conflict with family, peers, and the community.

Youth empowerment workshops

PAGE offers four youth workshops that provide adolescents with the skills needed to build character traits and empower them to make positive and healthy decisions. These workshops can be provided one-on-one or in a group setting. Most sessions are completed in locations that do not require transportation for the youth, such as a school setting.
