Parent Workshops

FamiliesFORWARD is committed to helping families become strong and healthy.
It is our belief that when the family unit is strengthened, children are more likely to do better socially and academically, and the school culture and surrounding community also benefit from the presence of strong families.


ParentWorkshop-AfterSchool Program 005CROPPED.jpg At FamiliesFORWARD, it is our goal to provide value-added workshops and materials as we strive to give parents good, relevant information. By implementing evidence-based curricula, the parents' knowledge, involvement and participation increases. It also enhances support of their children's education. The family also becomes more self-sufficient.


Parent workshops are conducted twice a month in a series format and include such topics as smart diet choices and being active; personal-relationship development; school and community engagement; self-empowerment; personal and family finances; personal and family goal-setting; time management; problem-solving; equal housing opportunities; and helping children succeed in school.
