For the past nine weeks the residents of HOME have been enjoying a life-skills course presented by the prevention services of the Center for Drug Free Living. The course, entitled the Family Enrichment Series, focused on teaching parents communication styles with their children, how to have quality family time, and even some conflict resolution techniques. What was so great about this class is that it was also offered to the children of HOME as well so Mom and child were both learning the same skills to better their family situation. Before each class the families would sit down together for dinner and discussion to begin the quality family time.
On April 15 the series ended with a grand graduation for all th
e residents who participated in the series. The families were presented with certificates, a special gift, and then the families enjoyed a meal together to mark the celebration. There was lots of fun to be had by all and some residents spoke up about how the course had helped them become better parents over the last nine weeks and that they had learned skills that would last them a lifetime!
Thank you to the Center for Drug Free Living for providing this great course for the women and children of Helping Others Make the Effort!
