Strengthening Families Programme
What is the Strengthening Families Programme?
SFP is an evidence based programme that supports families avoid developing serious behavioural problems by intervening early. The programme runs over 7 weeks in the evenings. Parents and young people attend separate skill building sessions for the first hour and then break for 30 minutes and then another hour together in a supervised family session.
The parent and youth sessions provide reinforcement and skills practice. For example, while the parents are learning how to use consequences, the young people are learning about the importance of following rules. Then in the family session the young people and parents practice problem solving together as a family when the rules are broken.
- Build life skills in young people and parents.
- Reduce alcohol misuse and other behavioural problems during adolescents
- Strengthening parent/child relationships.
