The Early Teens and High School Program in Merrill, WI, is dedicated to supporting families with children aged 12 to 16, particularly those in higher-risk situations. Through our comprehensive, evidence-based prevention program, we empower parents and youth by providing essential parenting skills and life skills training in a warm, engaging environment. Our initiative consists of fourteen 2-hour group sessions that not only offer targeted education but also foster family bonding over shared meals and informal practice time, all guided by experienced group leaders. We believe in creating lasting change through collaboration and support, helping families navigate the challenges of adolescence together.
