Strengthening Families Program Registration Aug24-Sep24

Dear parents/ caregivers of 9 to 15 year olds in Pierce County,

You are invited to participate in our Strengthening Families Program every Monday from August to mid September, at the Multicultural Community Hall (2102 S 23rd St, Tacoma)!  We will host these sessions on Mondays 5:30pm-8:00pm on 8/5, 8/12, 8/19, 8/26, 9/2, 9/9, and 9/16.

This is a special program where both the parent/ caregiver and the youth participate.  It is fine if there is one or two parents/ caregivers from the family participating.  Similarly, it is fine for one or more youth 9 to 15 years old to also participate.  Each parent/ caregiver and youth will receive $20 Amazon gift card by email for participating in each session in person.  We will also provide free dinner and free on-site childcare for younger children

This registration form includes pre-survey questions.  We will ask you to fill out another online survey with post-survey questions after the 6th session.  We ask that you attend at least 4 of the 7 sessions with your youth to get your certificate of completion.  

P.S.  This is funded by HCA's State Opioid Response prevention grant and HCA's Care Expansion grant.


Thank you, and please feel free to contact us with any questions!
