Keep Connected Institute for Strengthening Family Relationships

Middle school years are challenging for young people and their families, as youth are growing and changing, and other demands put stresses on families. Teachers, family service organizations, out-of-school-time programs and faith communities experience difficulties in keeping parents and families engaged.

Keep Connected Institute is a workshop series designed for people who work with middle school parents and youth to help everyone prepare for the changes they will encounter as young people enter their teen years. This series of six workshops will help prepare parents and youth for the changes they will be facing as they enter their teen years.
