The Early Teens and High School Program in Elkhorn, WI, is dedicated to empowering families through evidence-based prevention strategies tailored for parents and children aged 12-16 from higher-risk backgrounds. Our mission is to foster stronger family connections by offering comprehensive parenting skills, children's life skills, and family skills training courses. These expertly facilitated fourteen 2-hour group sessions are designed not only to educate but also to create a supportive environment, beginning with a shared meal that encourages informal family practice and group leader guidance. We believe in equipping families with the tools they need to thrive together, ensuring a brighter future for our youth.
