Family Law Education Program
In order to maintain social distance and avoid gathering in public spaces, effective March 17, 2020 the Family Law Education Program has been switched from an in-person group class to a Zoom class. Family Resource Center values the safety of the community and the families we serve, and we are offering this webinar to parents in Deschutes County experiencing family restructuring such as a separation or divorce (at no additional cost).
