The
Strengthening Families Programs I and II are each seven (7)
sessions. The program is set up as follows: parents and
youth meet separately for the first hour, and then together
as a family the second hour. Each individual family will
then have the opportunity to practice the skills which were
just learned during the first hour. The Strengthening
Families Program emphasizes the fact that youth do better
when their parents/caregivers have two (2) basic skills:
consistent discipline and support. The program is designed
to help youth develop skills in handling stress and peer
pressure, plan and build a positive future, and learn to
have an increased appreciation for their
parents/caregivers. The program is designed to help
parents/caregivers build on their strengths in showing love
and setting limits as well as learning nurturing skills to
support their youth and help their family limits as well as
learning nurturing skills to support their youth and help
their family grow stronger together. |
