EXTENDED FAMILY FOR KIDS LEADER TRAINING
hosted by Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Shoals
Extended Family for Kids (EFK) is an evidence-based, 9-lesson Curriculum for students grades K-12 with a loved one incarcerated. This Curriculum is also effective for at-risk students facing multiple life challenges. EFK teaches students how to make healthy life-style choices, so they can improve their quality of life emotionally, mentally, and physically. EFK Lessons build self-esteem, ease feelings of shame, ease isolation, decrease stress, address anger issues, and strengthen communication skills. In this Training you will experience all 9 Lessons of Extended Family for Kids, hands on. With the EFK Curriculum Guide provided in the Training, you will be fully prepared to start your own EFK Program Group!
