The Strengthening Families Program (SFP) is an evidence-based prevention program for parents and children ages 3-5, 6-11, and 12-16 in higher-risk families. SFP consists of parenting skills, children's life skills, and family skills training courses taught together in fourteen 2-hour group sessions. The class is preceded by a meal that includes informal family time and group leader coaching. SFP was designed in 14 sessions to promote behavior change in high-risk families.
