“Guiding Good Choices is a really great program for any parent or guardian of middle-schoolers,” said Chris Schuldt, Prevention Coordinator at Dial Help. “It’s only two hours a week for five weeks, so you get a lot out of a small commitment. We encourage people to come and bring a friend!”

Guiding Good Choices is provided in partnership with Baraga County CTC and Houghton/Keweenaw CTC, and funded by NorthCare Network.
