SFP: Important Points SFP is three skills courses: Parenting, Children, & Family Skills SFP skills are for all families SFP does make learning “Life Skills” easier for high-stress families “Family” is one or more adults with long-term responsibility for one or more children; a “parent” has that responsibility
7
SFP: Goals and Settings SFP is therapeutic, but not Therapy; personal disclosure is not required Strong families reduce risk for many adverse behaviors in children & teens SFP makes family life less stressful and more rewarding for parents under stress. SFP is delivered by schools, courts, and community agencies for voluntary, referred, required and mandated families
