Keep Connected
Healthy, strong family relationships are foundational to young people's growth, learning, and well-being. These relationships build strong social and emotional strengths that kids use throughout their lives. But great family relationships don't just happen. This program is designed for families with young people aged 10 - 14 years old, to learn the keys to positive family relationships during the transition into the teen years. Keep Connected offers families - and the organizations that support them - ideas, activities, and experiences to help build strong family relationships. The goal is to strengthen family relationships to help kids be and become their best selves.
To offer this event in your parish, school, or virtually, please contact familyandyouthministry@dol.ca
