Strengthening Families (ages 5-18)

Strengthening Families is a program within Champs that meets weekly for three months in the fall and spring. It includes separate group sessions for children and parents to work on similar topics and combined sessions for children and their parents to discuss experiences and goals for change. Families voluntarily attend weekly and complete the program despite barriers related to poverty such as lack of transportation because they ultimately find the information and resulting family transformation invaluable.
