Strengthening Families

Family Treasures: Creating Strong Families
Family Treasures is a 3-part educational program for the whole family, based at sites throughout the community.  These free, interactive programs are led by volunteers.  Families will experience the six qualities of strong families (commitment to each other, enjoyable time together, successful management of stress and crisis, positive communication, spiritual well-being, and appreciation and affection for each other) through fun activities together.

Intentional Harmony: Managing Work and Life
