The Early Teens and High School Program in Waupun, WI, is dedicated to strengthening families and empowering youth aged 12-16 in higher risk situations. This evidence-based prevention program offers a supportive environment where parents and children can engage in essential parenting and life skills training through fourteen interactive group sessions, each lasting two hours. Beginning with a communal meal that fosters informal family practice, the program emphasizes collaborative learning and guidance from experienced group leaders. Our mission is to build resilience, improve family dynamics, and create a pathway for brighter futures for both parents and their teens.
