Strengthening Families

We have started a partnership with Delta Prevention to offer their Strengthening Families Program (SFP) for families in the Oak Park community. This program is a 12-week skills training course that parents and youth attend together. SFP teaches parenting skills, youth life skills, and family relationship skills in a 2-hour class. SFP was originally developed in 1982 under a grant from the National Institute of Drug Abuse by Dr. Karol Kumpfer. The grant assignment was to research and prove which parenting skills were necessary to keep youth from falling into addiction.
