The Strengthening Families Program (SFP) is an evidence-based family skills training program for high-risk and general population families that is recognized nationally and internationally. Parents and youth attend weekly SFP skills classes together, learning parenting skills and youth life and refusal skills. The program will begin with a family dinner that Cape Assist provides. After dinner, the parents and youth will separate into workshops where weekly lessons and trainings will be held. The parents and youth will rejoin each other for the remainder of the program, where a family project or lesson will be done. 

The program is a 7-week or 14-week program, depending on the age group, and is FREE to attend. Upon completion of the program, families will be rewarded with a gift card. Participants who are active or inactive in the military or have an immediate family member that is active or inactive in the military are encouraged to register for the Military Strengthening Families Program (MSFP) if one is currently available.
