Welcome to the Strengthening Families Programme 10-14 (UK)

The family remains the single greatest influence in most young people’s lives. We all want to protect our children, raise them well, give them the best education and all our skills. We all know that bringing up a child is one of the toughest and at same time one of the most rewarding challenges in our lives.

How the SFP10-14 (UK) can help

  • Do you want to develop your parenting skills?
  • Are you worried that your child might start smoking, drinking or experimenting with drugs?
  • Do you need some new ideas, tips on how to talk to your children so they listen?
  • Do you want to meet other parents to discuss the joys and difficulties of being a parent?

Our Strengthening Families programme is here for all families with young people aged between 10 and 14 years of age to help prepare them for their teenage years. This 7 week evidence-based programme is aimed at reducing alcohol and drug use, behavioural problems in adolescence and strengthening the parent/carer child relationship.

Through discussions, fun games and activities families solve problems together, learn about rules and consequences and explore ways to show love, support and strengthening family communication.

Our programme is unique in the way it works with both parents and children, bringing them together.
