Strengthen Families Program |
|
The
Strengthening Families Program developed for parents and
youth is a video-based intervention designed to reduce
adolescent substance use and other problematic behaviors in
youth 10 to 14 years of age. The program is delivered within
parent, youth and family sessions using narrated videos that
portray typical youth and parent situations. The sessions
are highly interactive and include role playing,
discussions, learning games and family projects designed to:
improve parenting skills (effective discipline, learn
nurturing skills that support their youth). The program
builds life skills in youth (dealing with stress and peer
pressure: pressure to use drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and
engage in problematic behaviors such as shoplifting,
skipping school and violence). Youth sessions also focus on
strengthening goal setting, communication skills, increasing
responsible behavior and strengthening family bonds.
Program is conducted for 2.5 hours, starting with the family
meal which lasts for one half hour, after the family meal
the parents and youth meet in separate groups for one hour.
The last hour is the family session where the youth and
parents/ caregivers come together and engage in activities
that foster togetherness and open communication.
