The St. Lucia Crisis Centre is currently embarking on a series of Workshops geared toward assisting parents in better understanding and fulfilling their roles.  This is in support of 30 children who meet on a regular basis- Monday to Friday for both academic and social support from the Centre.  These children are a part of the Ione Erlinger – Ford After School Care & Extended Support Programme. The officials at the Centre say it has observed the steady progress that is being manifested in both academic and behavioural performances of the children  and they seek to get more parents actively involved. The series of workshops are currently ongoing.
