Strengthening Fragile Families Training Institute

December 12-16, 2011

 

For over two decades, family practitioners have been working with low-income fathers and mothers from diverse backgrounds without the necessary knowledge and skills to optimize their work. The Strengthening Families Institute is a five day skills building certification program  designed to increase the capacity of individuals and agencies to be successful in working with low-income fathers, mothers, never married and married couples with children from diverse backgrounds and community settings.

 

This five day institute will train interested individuals and agencies on the history of the responsible fatherhood and healthy marriage/relationship education movement; best-practices in working with men, women, mothers, fathers and families including recruitment, retention and evaluation, and how to implement effective peer support groups. 

 

SFFTI trains practitioners in the effective use of The Fatherhood Development Curriculum and The Relationship Skills for Strong Families curriculum developed by Dr. Jeffery M. Johnson. The curriculums are based on real experiences and challenges of fragile family settings.  The curriculum also offers advice on facilitating groups and a theory of change methodology for training and participant learning.

Families on the Run

Ready, Set, Go! 

There's still time to register for the 7th annual Families on the Run this Saturday, December 3. This fun event not only promotes health and fitness, but it's also a chance for families to do something fun together for the holidays. Runners and families from all across the region will gather to compete in the 5K, 10K or non-competitive Kiddie K Fun Jog. The Chick-fil-A Santa Cow will be on hand, and participants are invited to enjoy a hot breakfast during our holiday party at the SportsBarn following the run.

Avoid the rush of race day and pick up your race packet on Friday, December 2 at the Downtown SportsBarn between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Secret Keeper Girl
A Date Night for Moms and Daughters
Looking for the perfect holiday gift for your tween-age daughter? First Things First welcomes Secret Keeper Girl Live: Pajama Party Tour to the Chattanooga Convention Center on January 28!!  This amazing event is for mothers and their daughters ages 8-12, and offers inspirational messages about true beauty and modesty...and plenty of pajama party fun!! 

Here's what one mom had to say about SKG:
"I took my daughter to this event several years ago in Nashville. We had a blast! The message was great, it was high energy and she got to see that there are lots of moms out there saying the same things to their daughters about modesty. I would highly recommend this experience to any mom and her tweenage daughter. I am planning to be there on the 28th with both of my girls."
Karol Getz, Chattanooga mother of two daughters

The show is from 6:30 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. Tickets are $15.00 with group discounts available.
