The FREE Strengthening Families Workshop is designed to help improve communication skills in your family. Six weekly workshops facilitated by trained instructors will strengthen your family's ability to safely and successfully navigate the teen years and prepare for a bright future. The classes are specifically designed for families with children ages 9 to 14 years. A free dinner will be served at 5:30 pm for the entire family, and there is childcare for siblings provided at no charge!
