Strengthening Families Programme
The internationally recognised Strengthening Families Programme has proven to reduce problem behaviours, delinquency, and
substance abuse in children as well as improve social skills and school performance.
Join the programme
The programme aims to assist parents in understanding their children better; this can help prevent children from taking part in harmful activities. Some of the mothers who attend the programme secure work with the City’s
Expanded Public Works Programme. The City has also introduced family recreational events in areas where the programme is run, which creates a safe place for families to spend quality time together.
Participants of the course attend an eight-week course where they learn about family values, parenting skills, peer pressure, respect, and how to communicate.
Look out for advertisements to participate in the programme in your community.
