The seven weeks of the Strengthening Families program will help you learn tools, skills, and strategies to build a stronger family.
Strengthening Families is for youth 10-14 years old and their families. There are amazing benefits from attending this program:
• Have fun TOGETHER as a family

• Help your child get closer to their big goals and dreams
• Learn tools to solve family issues better and in a more positive way

The Strengthening Families Program has made a difference in thousands of families in all 50 states and in over 25 countries and is now being offered to families living in Dent County.
This program is designed for all families and provides an opportunity for families to strengthen relationships by opening up the lines of communication. It is fast-paced and offers practical information using videos, discussions, learning games, and family projects. Families who attend have fun while they learn strategies for helping their child make positive decisions in the face of increased peer pressure.
This seven-week program will begin 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Sept. 13 and run every Tuesday evening through the week of Oct. 25 at the Salem Community Center @ The Armory, 1200 W. Rolla Road. A family meal will be provided at each of the seven sessions, along with weekly giveaways and a program completion reward for each family that completes the series. Childcare for younger siblings is also available.
