Building Strong Families (BSF) incorporates information about how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES), sometimes referred to as trauma, affect brain development and behaviors-which can often have a lifelong impact- but the good news is that with support kids are incredibly resilient!
BSF is an exciting 8-week program for parents with children ages 6-12…and it’s totally free!
Participating families are treated to a free meal each week and free childcare is provided for children under the age of 6. Plus there will be an opportunity to receive weekly prizes/incentives for attendance and participation!
BSF will give you skills to achieve a fuller, more satisfying family life using the Love and Logic curriculum. Each week, parents will be discussing the following topics:
- Parenting Styles
- Family Meetings
- The Value of Choices
- Punishment vs. Consequences
- Shared Control
- Empathy and Reflective Listening
- The Value of Routines
