PEPS now offers a monthly Learning Together Series. These 90-minute virtual workshops complement our 4- and 9-week PAT Program series and are available to anyone who may not be able to attend those programs or for any parent or caregiver who is interested in learning through this alternate format.

These sessions provide parents raising adolescents and teens with an opportunity to receive information and have peer discussions on key focus areas that complement our curriculum.

Each Learning Together PAT workshop is led by a trained facilitator and structured similarly to any PEPS Group meeting, including sharing Highs and Lows and group discussions. These 1.5-hour sessions are a great way for families to experience a PAT Group in a shorter format and learn which themes and topics would interest them to learn more about. Participants attend without adolescents and teens in attendance, with up to 25 families participating in each workshop.

Registration is only $20 per family. This is a minimal fee that helps cover the cost of the curriculum, planning, and facilitation. Financial assistance is provided. Please contact PEPS staff at registration@peps.org for details.

Workshops will be offered throughout the year. Sessions fill quickly – register today to secure your spot!
