Family Training Programs
Family Table helps parents and teenagers (12-17) learn how to communicate effectively and resolve everyday issues.
While Family Table is an intervention program, it is also preventive. Each family is unique in family organization, relationship dynamics, and cultures, yet they share a common need for better communication. A unique component of the program is that the sessions are divided between family and teen nights. On teen nights, youth are able to learn skills without their parents present and on family nights everyone learns the material together.
“I love the togetherness we feel!”
“I’m talking to my mom again after going to Family Table.”

“The very high level of engagement of our students in your presentation — and what may not have been as evident was that a number of those students were of the too-cool-for-school variety and as such, are not easily engaged in such a public setting — was the highest testimony one could give.”
