The Center for Women and Men at Daytona State College will host a free four-hour workshop to help parents strengthen their families from the inside out. Participants will learn about the protective factors that need to be present in a family in order to keep it strong and healthy.
The Strengthening Families workshop is scheduled for Friday, April 12, from 1 to 5 p.m. on Daytona State’s Daytona Beach Campus, Bergengren Hall (Bldg. 110), Room 112. Participation is free and open to the public. It is presented in collaboration with the Early Learning Coalition of Flagler & Volusia and Stewart-Marchman-Act Behavioral Healthcare.
“The Child Care Access Means Parents in School or CCAMPIS program provides access to affordable child-care services to eligible students who wouldn’t otherwise be able to pursue post-secondary education,” commented Anthony Deobil, workshop coordinator and CCAMPIS project director. “The aim of the Strengthening Families workshop is to educate parents about the importance of protective factors such as parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of parenting and child development, concrete support in times of need as well as social and emotional competence of children.”
To register for the April 12 workshop or for more information call, (386) 506-4218. CCAMPIS is a federal funded grant through the U.S. Department of Education.
