The next Strengthening Families cycle begins on September 3!
A 14-week program, Strengthening Families takes place on Thornwell’s campus in Clinton, SC for families with children between the ages of six and 11. Families enjoy a free meal together and then break out into groups. Parents work with a family specialist to learn parenting skills and strategies while children work with a different family specialist to learn about appropriate behavior.
At the end of each week’s session, families receive attendance incentives, food, and family games and activities to enjoy and practice their skills in between classes. Strengthening Families offers a fun, casual, and energetic environment that helps children and families improve their behaviors and build a healthier home life.
