Strengthening Families Program (SFP) serves families with children ages 7 to 17 through local partners in settings that include community centers, schools, and churches. SFP is designed to help families develop positive discipline practices, stay resilient in tough times, reduce conflict, improve parenting skills, and assist children with social skills, relationships, and school performance.
Participants complete a 11-session weekly program. The sessions, which always begin with a family meal, typically last 2 1/2 hours and include parents and children meeting separately to work with group leaders before coming together for shared activities to finish. Participants who successfully complete the program graduate in a celebratory style.
