Families in Winnfield recently gathered to celebrate a milestone in their journey toward stronger relationships and brighter futures. On May 10, the Strengthening Families Program (SFP) held its most recent graduation ceremony at the Louisiana Political Museum and Hall of Fame, where participants enjoyed a delightful evening of dinner and games.

SFP is a proven family skills training program aimed at enhancing communication, parenting practices, and the social and life skills of children and adolescents. Through structured sessions, families engage in activities that promote bonding, problem-solving, and positive interaction.

The program in Winnfield is facilitated through Winn Community Health Care, thanks to a grant obtained by The Rapides Foundation. By bringing families together and providing valuable resources, SFP aims to reduce risk factors associated with substance abuse, delinquency, and other behavioral issues.

As one chapter ends, another begins. The program will resume in the fall, offering a fresh opportunity for families to participate and grow together. Anyone interested in joining the upcoming sessions should reach out to Shonna Moss at 318-628-0169.

The graduation ceremony not only marked the accomplishments of the participants but also highlighted the importance of family support and community involvement in nurturing healthy relationships. Through programs like SFP, Winnfield continues to strengthen its families and build a brighter future for generations to come.
