Children's Program

An integral part to this program at all sites is the Children's Program. It is gaining strength and offering more choices for both parents and children each year. The goal is to create a safe healthy environment for children to develop the skills necessary to understand & cope with their family's crisis.

This is done through development of children's groups which address such issues as:

  • Anger management
  • Conflict resolution strategies
  • Self esteem building
  • Relaxation techniques
  • Understanding how substance abuse & domestic violence impacts families
  • Gardening
  • Arts and crafts
  • Individualized special time with children
  • Individualized parenting meetings
  • In home parenting classes and support groups
  • Guided family recreational outings
  • Linkages to outside services such as:

School
Counseling
Recreational options
Big Brothers & Big Sisters
Assisting adults and children in advocating for themselves.
