Norwich Participants 2009

“This program is so fun….can we do it again.”

(Tristan)

And this family did participate again during one of the sessions in Kingman.

Kingman session at the Assembly of God Church 2010

“I would be happy to provide the building and help with recruiting.”

“I am (was) excited to see a program that emphasized the importance of the family as the basic building block of society. Furthermore the program sees the family as the vehicle for turning around a society that has jeopardized its future because of our neglect of the family.” (Pastor Bryan)

“The kids that were involved with their families in the SFP seem to demonstrate a respect and kindness when I see them at school, in a store or just walking down the street.  Maybe it is a confidence within themselves ~~ I don't know but I am always happy to see them and proud of the way they carry themselves.  Perhaps it is knowing that someone other than their parents want them to make the right choices!” (Robyn, Facilitator and Substitute Teacher)

2010 Session at the St Patrick’s School in Kingman

“This program has been so great for my family. Working through problems at home has helped my son to cut down on his medication. We are so grateful…” Tammy

“I loved watching family after family work through tough problems, as a team, with such ease.” 

“A great way to bring families together!”

“I believe the program provided teens with tools that will help get them through tough situations at school and in life.” Maegan, Facilitator

Kingman Christian Church offered their facility for the 2011 session

“As a parent/participant, I was grateful for the guidance provided to deal with authority and conflict issues that are sometimes part of the child-rearing process.”

“The Kingman Area Ministerial Alliance would be happy to help with any aspect of the Strengthening Families Program after the ‘grant to reduce underage drinking’ ends. We believe this program has been a great addition to the community and will work to get others to participate.”
