Last night, we celebrated the accomplishments of our graduating families as they completed nine weeks of meaningful and, at times, intense discussions. The Strengthening Families Program (SFP) creates an environment that challenges negative behaviors and unhealthy patterns while promoting positive change. Throughout the program, families develop prosocial skills, strengthen communication, and participate in bonding activities that help build healthier, stronger family relationships. We are proud of their commitment and dedication to the process and congratulate each family on this achievement. We feature one of our families that used tools provided to bake together. " This is our first time ever baking together and we enjoyed it"

Last Friday, a few of our team members listened to the 100-Families Crawford County panel discussion. There are 357 children in foster care in Sebastian County, but only 138 beds are available, resulting in a 219-bed deficit. As a former DCFS caseworker and current Director of Compliance, I find this situation overwhelming for the agency, foster parents, and children. Let that sink in. The need for support is great. Several factors cause the imbalance and fracturing of many great services. What positive suggestions can you offer as a community?

CJS is delighted to participate in the panel discussion tomorrow. There's never a dull moment with Allen Wright, our Marketing/Mentoring Specialist. Director of Compliance Tammy Roper has her hands full.

We have reached the second week of SFP. The group's participation has been outstanding. CJS couldn't have achieved this without the support of Saint James Missionary Baptist Church, which has graciously hosted each session. Coaches are Russel Ray and Allen Wright.
