The Early Teens and High School Program in Deforest, WI, serves as a vital resource for families with children aged 12-16, particularly those in higher risk environments. Our evidence-based prevention program focuses on empowering parents and their teenagers by offering comprehensive skills training in parenting, children's life skills, and family dynamics. Participants engage in fourteen interactive group sessions, each lasting two hours, designed to foster stronger familial bonds and effective communication. Each session begins with a shared meal that encourages informal family practice and is supported by group leader coaching, creating a supportive atmosphere for growth and learning. We are dedicated to helping families thrive through strong relationships and essential life skills.
