Information and Referral Hotline

The Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault is hosting a information and referral hotline for victims of domestic and/or sexual violence. This hotline will be staffed by attorneys who can answer general questions about legal issues, including family issues, criminal law, landlord/tenant issues and immigration issues. (Note: Hotline attorneys will NOT be representing clients but rather providing brief legal education to callers and possible referrals to other legal and/or social service providers.)

Positive Discipline Parenting Class

Parenting Class.jpg

The parenting class uses the Positive Discipline curriculum, and is a seven week class that is held every Thursday from 5:30-7:30 pm. You can start the class any time and will get a certificate of completion after attending 7 classes. The class is for parents or caregivers of children ages 0-18. Parents will earn long-term parenting skills that will encourage their children to think for themselves, become more responsible, and have a greater respect for themselves and others. The teachings of Positive Discipline are filled with non-punitive, respectful methods that will incorporate kindness and firmness into parenting, help parents get to the core of their child's misbehavior, bring more joy into the home, and give parents a sense of accomplishment. 

##Every Thursday at 5:30-7:30 PM
