Family program strengthens bonds

The Strengthening Families Program Family Night Out is a 14-week program for the whole family that focuses on connecting family members through fun activities and games. The program provides support for parents and interactive groups for children ages 5-11 and for teens 12-17 years old. Dinner and drinks are provided. Additionally, free child-care is offered for children under 5 years old. Strengthening Families is curriculum and research based. The focus of the education is enhancing communication skills between family members and helping the family to increase their ability to express their feelings and concerns to one another. Every family struggles from time to time with these issues. This is why the program is so practical for any family. This program is open to any family in Sussex County.
