Attendance is expected at all six classes.

The Strengthening Families program is a fun, interactive series of workshops that allows parents/caregivers to spend special time with their youth and help him/her be successful in the teen years. During each session, parents/caregivers and their youth will learn ways to build on existing strengths, improve communication skills, and have fun together as a family.

Dinner is provided at each workshop, and each family will win a family fun gift basket during the course of the series.

Topics to expect:

  • How to set limits while supporting growth
  • What kids and parents need from each other
  • Developing emotional awareness
  • The challenges of friends and peer pressure
  • Keeping family love alive and giving compliments

The Strengthening Families Program strives to empower families. We celebrate family strengths, improve communication skills, and provide support to both youth and parents/caregivers.

Advanced registration is required.
