The Strengthening Families cycle will be focused on families served in the Brooklyn Park Community of Hope. It will be used to help address the impacts of incarceration.
Families in Brooklyn Park, specifically those impacted by incarceration.
In FY18 the Strengthening Families program was reduced from two cycles by separate vendors to one cycle operated by the more successful of the two vendors. This cycle continues to have excellent outcomes, predominately serving families impacted by incarceration to help strengthen family relationships and communication skills and to assist family members in building protective factors that will further support the family in the months and years ahead.
This cycle only one family did not graduate the program and that was due to a serious issue beyond their control that caused them to have to leave the program mid-cycle. All other participating families were very successful and saw large improvements on the Parenting & Family Self-Assessment.
As this program is performing well there are no action items at this time.
