Strengthening Families is a 15-week evidence-based family skills building program serving families with children between the ages of three and five. During this 37.5-hour program, parents and their children learn family communication skills, reduce their level of conflict and stress, and increase their positive discipline skills. Parents and the children meet in separate groups for the first part of each session and then come together to practice skills that strengthens and supports individual family members and the family as a unit. Strengthening Families is implemented in collaboration with Triangle Family Services with funding from the NC Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Social Services.
