Parenting in Penobscot County

The Penobscot County Extension Office is a source for parenting information, including a parent educator training program.

We have a lending library of activity books, videotapes, and audiotapes for parents. Most of these materials may be borrowed for free.

Workshops are offered periodically on specific parenting topics, such as effective discipline, communication, and building healthy relationships. Contact us for more information.
