Parent Education and Employment Preparation Programs


Hello ACCC community members! Welcome to back to the blog. Here you can expect to find resources, wellness tips, as well as interviews with important community members.


Today we’re talking about a topic I know many of you care deeply about: your children!

In these unprecedented times, parents have had more time than ever before with their young children. From zoom school to virtual parent-teacher conferences, the parenting obligations have stacked up enormously. If you’ve found yourself struggling to be patient with your kids in this time, you’re not alone. 


ACCC has resources that might be able to help you. We offer 15-week parent education classes to parents who may be court-ordered by DCFS or Probation, or are just interested in strengthening their parenting skills!  Skills include:

  • Healthy communication

  • Temper management

  • Engaging your child in bonding activities

  • Cultivating a practice of dinner as a family

  • And more!


Certificates for the program are given only for the completion of the entire 15-week program. The exceptions are agency mandated for more or less than 15 hours. Each certificate will list the number of classes and hours completed.  


Because this class is taught in a group setting, it gives you the chance to connect with other parents facing similar challenges. That being said, all information shared in the class is confidential! We want to protect everyone’s privacy, so please, no gossiping!


In the parenting class, all facilitators are designated reporters. That is, if we hear an incident of abuse, we are required to report it. Referrals will be made when necessary for counseling and other needed services. Please pay class fees online or in person.  If paying online, go to www.acccbsm.com, and look for the fee.  There is an additional $3 processing fee to pay your class fees online. If not, they can be paid in person prior to class or after class. Thank you for choosing Aaron Community Cultural Center for your parent education classes!


Another program we want to draw your attention to is our employment preparation program! Have you ever wondered if your resume was up to snuff? Have you ever wanted to practice your interviewing skills? Well, you’ve come to the right place.


ACCC offers both virtual and classroom-type training programs to participating community attendees. This training is designed to teach goal-setting and entrepreneurial skills. You will have the opportunity to join our exclusive entrepreneurial club. 

Our training focuses on training their participants in the following areas: 

  • Phone and social media marketing

  • How to write and implement scripts

  • Invite prospects to various events on and offline

  • To send out thank you gifts, via email or regular U.S. mail

  • Invite prospects to Seminars, Webinars and make follow up calls daily, weekly, bi-monthly and monthly. 

For those of you who are interested in telemarketing, we have a program specifically designed for you! Telemarketers will participate in daily:

  • Business Development

  • Time Management

  • Self Actualization

  •  Goal-Setting 

  • Team Building Training

Each telemarketer-in-training will set hourly, daily, weekly and monthly goals that will assist them in learning time and task management. Each marketer will set their salary and create a permanent marketing position and determine their own financial compensation. In order to be successful in this program, telemarketers will need a thorough knowledge of computer skills to enable them to send required reports via email. This is a fantastic program for individuals who are seeking to start their own business and want to earn unlimited income.

What Is Anger Management?

  Have you ever gotten angry and done something you've regretted? Maybe you've taken out your anger about work or finances on your kids. Maybe you've gotten so mad that you've broken household objects. Or maybe you've bottled up anger for months or years, and it just seems to explode when you can't hold it in anymore. If any of these situations sound familiar, anger management might be something for you to consider. What Is Anger Management? According to the Mayo Clinic , anger management is learning to recognize the signs when you're becoming angry and learning steps you can take to calm down so you can deal with your anger in an appropriate and productive way.  Just as important as it is to know what anger management  is , it's also important to know what it is  not . Anger management is not about getting rid of your anger, pretending it's not there, or judging ourselves for experiencing anger. Emotions themselves aren't good or bad, they'r

What Is Anger Management and Could I Benefit From It?

It's no secret that many of us struggle to feel (and identify!) our feelings. For many of us, one emotion is more difficult than the rest—anger. Anger is an uncomfortable emotion for a lot of us, but can sometimes cause the most damage. But here's the good news, when you learn to handle anger in a healthy way, it can actually lead to positive change in your life! What Is Anger Management? Contrary to popular belief, the goal of anger management isn't to get rid of your anger. As we mentioned before, anger can be a really important emotion to feel. According to Mayo Clinic , "anger management is the process of learning to recognize signs that you're becoming angry, and taking action to calm down and deal with the situation in a productive way." If that doesn't sound like reason enough to work on your anger management, here are some other ways you might benefit.  Anger management can help you: Communicate more effectively Have more fulfilling interpersonal r

What Is Transformational Housing?

As many of you may know, ACCC offers housing for female individuals who are over the age of 18. One of the goals of the Shared Housing program is to help women by providing them with employment preparation skills, restoring their self-confidence and rebuilding their self-sufficiency as well as a myriad of other programs to name a few.  There is an application process that needs to be followed in order to vet if ACCC is the proper space for you.      Feel free to reach out to us at acccbsm@gmail.com or visit our website at acccbsm.com for more information. Okay, so today’s topic is on transitional housing and transformational living.  Let’s get started!      Transitional housing is any type of living situation that is transitional. For example, if you or someone you know is living in a shelter, then moves into ACCC, and then obtains permanent housing; ACCC wou
