Families in Action is a program that helps parents and teens get a better understanding of each other and help them to better get along. Families will learn important information and strategies in the areas of courage and self-esteem, responsibility and discipline, cooperation and communication, teen behavior and problem solving.

Families in Action also provides parents with 10 powerful prevention strategies in the areas of substance abuse, violence and sexuality. The workshop provides skills and strategies that will be especially helpful to families with children who just started middle school or high school.
