Hosted by Akeela and Volunteers of America, the Strengthening Families class for Grandfamilies will take place Thursdays at Volunteers of America ( 1675 C St.) from May 22nd – July 10th, 2008.

Each class will begin with dinner at 5:30 and run until 7:30pm.

Strengthening Families is usually a 14-week-long class costing up to $130. This abbreviated session will run 8 weeks and is FREE for grandfamilies!

 

The evening includes dinner, a class for children ages 6-11 years old and a class for the adults (childcare provided for children under six years old). The material covers parenting basics from decreasing family conflicts to increasing family togetherness. The class will reinforce skills grandparents may already know as well as provide them with new tools in raising their grandchildren. The children’s class will offer children a chance to learn how to improve communication skills, to improve problem solving and other skills. This class is open to grandparents raising their grandchildren.
