You're invited! Join us this summer for a Families Together, Inc. Parent-to-Parent Book Club. We'll be reading Good Inside, by Dr. Becky Kennedy.

Together, we’ll explore how to see ourselves and our kids as “good inside,” even when things get messy.

Got a teen or young adult (13–24)?

Feeling overwhelmed by the transition to adulthood, employment, or adult services? You’re not alone—and there’s support.

If your youth has been told they’re “unemployable,” offered jobs that don’t fit their interests, or struggled at work because expectations weren’t clear—we see you. And we can help.

Join us in Topeka on Saturday, April 25 & Friday, May 1 for FEAT—an empowering, supportive experience designed to help families and youth explore strengths, build confidence, and discover real employment possibilities.

Let’s build a future that works. 💙https://FEATTopeka.eventbrite.com
