The Early Teens and High School Program in Germantown, WI, is dedicated to empowering families facing challenges by providing essential life skills training for parents and children aged 12-16. This evidence-based prevention initiative focuses on strengthening family dynamics through a series of fourteen engaging two-hour group sessions. Each session begins with a shared meal, fostering a sense of community and support. Parents gain valuable parenting techniques while children learn critical life skills, all in a collaborative environment that includes informal practice time and guidance from experienced group leaders. By emphasizing practical solutions and nurturing relationships, we aim to create a positive impact in the lives of families in higher-risk situations.
