The document outlines the steps to become involved with the Family by Family program, beginning with an introductory meeting and game to learn about the family, then being matched with a buddy family and attending weekly dinners to see if the program is a good fit before completing training to start linking up with other families with coaching and support. The goal is to help families build strengths in enabling change, connecting with others, modeling good behavior, and developing relationships.
We all want to be the best parents we can be for our children, but there is often conflicting advice on how to raise a kid who is confident, kind, and successful.

Our 90 minute workshop will allow parents to explore how their personal barriers affect their parenting confidence, satisfaction and parenting successes. Call 540-841-8184 or email debra@familiesinthriving.com for more information.
