Do you work with students who are facing challenging situations? Come and learn new tools for helping children cope with the incarceration of a loved one, stress, anger, and more at the Extended Family for Kids Leader Training, Tuesday, August 27, 2024. Registration is now open and is being offered at a discounted rate of $50 per person through our website, www.extendedfamilyhelp.org.
Extended Family for Kids (EFK) is an evidence-based, 9-lesson curriculum for students in grades kindergarten through 12th who have presently, or have had in the past, an incarcerated loved one. This curriculum is also effective for at-risk children 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 participants will experience all nine lessons of Extended Family for Kids through hands-on learning activities. With the EFK Curriculum Guide provided in the training, newly certified EFK Program Leaders will be fully prepared to begin EFK Program Groups in their communities immediately.
Training will be held at Shoals Chamber of Commerce Board Room, 20 Hightower Pl., Florence, AL 35630 from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. with breakfast and lunch provided. Registration includes the Extended Family for Kids Curriculum Guide, all training supplies, EFK leader t-shirt, and a certificate of completion. Some schools and agencies provide professional development credits for EFK Leader Training.
Space is limited and registration is required by August 16, 2024. To register, you must be an employee or volunteer with an organization that maintains good child practices.
