General Program Description:
The Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Youth 10-14 (SFP 10-14) is an empirically supported program developed by Virginia Molgaard Ph.D. at Iowa State University. This prevention program targets adolescents ages 10 to 14 and their caregivers. The parent, youth, and family skills-building curriculum is delivered in seven sessions and is offered as independent, concurrent learning sessions for parents and youth, followed by joint family sessions. The program uses realistic videos, role-playing, discussions, learning games, and family projects. The goal of the program is to enhance parenting skills, build life skills in youth, and strengthen family bonds and communication. The program has been proven to delay the onset of adolescent substance use, lower levels of aggression, increase resistance to peer pressure by youth, and increase the ability of parents/caregivers to set appropriate limits and show affection and support to their children.
