The Strengthening Families Program (SFP) 

at the OMI/Excelsior Beacon Center works with
parents/caregivers and their teens (ages 12-14)
to target common struggles among families.
Specially trained SFP facilitators work closely with

the families for a 14-week cycle of weekly workshops.

During these sessions families work together around
communication, limit setting, and creating a supportive
family environment. Stable, supportive families lead to

youth that are better able to resist common risks
and develop stronger social and life skills.

​

Why join SFP?

 

• Parents/caregivers feel supported and validated
  by other parents with shared experiences.

• Teens have a safe place to share and work toward
  healthier relationships and life choices.

• Families learn valuable skills to get along better
  ​and develop a loving and healthy family structure.​
