Families often don’t seek or receive the help they need to keep the stress from becoming a fracture. Many times, it is the children who suffer the damage.
The focus of the Project PATCH Family Experience is to help families at the point of stress rather than after a fracture has occurred. The program will focus on education rather than individual therapy. Families, grouped with those in similar situations, learn about the pitfalls they may face, develop the skills required to weather the events, and share in a positive and fun experience. Rather than targeting families in crisis, the goal is to be proactive in helping before the family requires a higher level of care.
In just 4 short days, families can experience a life changing experience which is Christian-based and family-focused. This short-term educational and experiential program raises awareness, develops skills and is funfor the whole family. Some sessions are conducted with all family members while others are focused on parents and children separately. This allows targeted instruction and discussion leading to insight and commonality.
The Family Experience is approapriate for families who have children between the ages of 12 and 17. Parents must accompany their children. Special accomodations must be made with staff for younger children at time of registration.
