Strengthening Families

The Strengthening Families Program is family skills intervention involving not just parents or children but the whole family. This program is an evidence-based family skills training program designed to increase resilience and reduce risk factors for behavioral, emotional, academic and social problems. SFP builds on protective factors by improving family relationships, parenting skills, and youth’s social skills. Classes for participants are family-oriented and child-centered in hopes of redirecting delinquent behavior.
