Calling all Dryden Families with youth in 6th-8th grades for our FREE Strengthening Families Program! This weekly class is a proven effective, family inclusive program that promotes positive communication, family bonding, and joint problem solving skills.

The sessions will begin with a shared family meal and then parents and youth will break off into different sections to learn skills. Parent/caregivers will discuss: normal developmental changes in teenagers; helping youth avoid risks and substance use; setting age appropriate limits; effective joint problem solving skills; ways to show love and support to their children. Youth will learn about: making good decisions and setting goals; peer pressure resistance skills to avoid problems with drugs and alcohol; empathy and appreciation of parents/caregivers; how to cope with stress. 

Classes will be held 5:00-7:30pm on February 27, March 5, 12, 19 & 27 and April 2 & 16 (no class April 9th).  March 5 is the last day to join the class.
