FAMILY
EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Family education
is a proactive approach with a general purpose to strengthen and enrich
the quality of life of individuals and/or family life in general. This
is accomplished primarily through communication, decision making and problem
solving processes.
The family is our
first world. Supporting and teaching families through education and skills
building assists them in finding new ways to support their members. We
believe that the preventive focus of Family Life Education can help individuals
find healthier ways to cope with adversity.
