Strengthening Families Program for Parents and Youth 10-14

The Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Children 10-14 is a FREE program for parents and youth ages 10-14 that helps build skills around communication, peer-pressure resistance, and goal setting.  Families meet once per week for seven weeks to participate in a variety of family activities that focus on improving family interactions. 
 
Evaluation data shows the following for families who completed the program:

• Youth had significantly lower rates of alcohol, tobacco and marijuana use
• Youth had fewer conduct problems in school
• Parents learned to set appropriate limits and follow through on consequences. 

The upcoming workshop series will begin on Tuesday, February 26 from 5:30-8:00pm at St. Stephen Lutheran Church in Urbandale.  A meal and childcare will be provided.
