The Early Teens and High School Program in Ashland, WI, is dedicated to empowering families with children aged 12-16 through an evidence-based prevention approach. Our initiative focuses on providing essential parenting skills, life skills for children, and comprehensive family training in a supportive group setting. Families benefit from fourteen engaging 2-hour sessions, each preceded by a nutritious meal that fosters informal practice and connection. Our goal is to strengthen family dynamics and equip participants with the tools they need to thrive together, ensuring a brighter future for higher-risk families in our community.
