Strengthening Families Program 10-14

Strengthening Families Program For Parents and Youth 10 - 14

Facilitator Training within Iowa

Professional training by experienced Strengthening Families Program trainers is required in order to be certified to teach the Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Youth 10-14 (SFP 10-14). Iowa State University Extension staff are the certified trainers of SFP 10-14 facilitators for the state of Iowa.

Groups of at least three facilitators per program site must receive training. One facilitator teaches the parent group; two facilitators teach the youth group, and all three facilitators work with families in the family session.
