Strengthening Families for the Future is a prevention program for families with children of all ages who may be at risk for substance misuse, depression, violence, delinquency, and school failure. Strengthening Families is effective because it involves the whole family. The goals of the program are to:

reduce children’s or adolescents’ intention to use alcohol and/or other drugs, and reduce other behaviour problems
increase children’s resilience and life skills
increase positive and effective parenting
increase family communication

Strengthening Families for the Future for Schools is a partnership between the District School Board of Niagara and The John Howard Society of Niagara.
This program is funded through Public Safety Canada.
