Wheeler's Parenting Education Program (PEP), funded by the State of Connecticut Judicial Branch Court Support Services Division, is designed for court-referred parents with active divorce, separation or custody cases in the Family Division of the Connecticut court system. The program educates parents about the many issues children face when the structure of the family changes. Wheeler has provided PEP services since the courts launched the program in 1995, serving more than 5,000 individuals.
