The Strengthening Families Program (SFP) is a weekly, three-part program in which parents learn new parenting skills, children learn skills which enable them to be more resilient, and families come together to take part in a fun learning activity.
Offered by NRVCS (New River Valley Community Services), SFP is a time for families to eat dinner together, learn new things, and have a good time with each other. Participating families work together to make life more enjoyable for every member of the family.
Some of the topics parents will discussed are:
- Making rules and consequences
- How to manage stress
- Ways to show love and support
- Ways to improve communication skills
Children will learn to:
- Appreciate their parents
- Say “No” to peer pressure
- Get along with others
- Understand feelings and deal with anger
Families will:
- Have fun with activities and games
- Solve problems together
- Spend quality time together
There is no fee to participate in the Strengthening Families Program, but you must pre-register. Dinner is provided for participating families each week of the program at NO cost.
