Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities (SFSC) - Turkish speaking

SFSC supports parents to strengthen their parenting skills and enhance relationships with their children. The programme considers ways to build stronger community connections and promote children’s safety and wellbeing. It addresses issues relating to community violence (including drugs, guns, and knife crime). Parents also learn techniques to teach key rites of passage that can be adapted according to children’s developmental stages.

Parents are encouraged to maintain and incorporate their own traditional customs and positive values from their individual ethnic, spiritual and cultural backgrounds.

Parents may be offered a weekly call-in between sessions to help put ideas into practice.

Delivery includes group discussion, group activities, speakers and ‘have a go’ tasks to try at home.

  • Length of programme: 13 weeks. Each session is 3 hours (term time only).
