The Strengthening Families Program was first conceived at Iowa State University and featured in cities and towns across America.
In 2004, the Jairus Agency qualified for a Title V federal grant through the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety, and was funded to operate this program, partnering with our home town of Middleborough for a period of 3 years.
Since then, dozens of families have graduated the 7 week program which emphasizes loving limits, healthy boundaries and effective family communication.
Directed by Pam Cordeiro, Jairus features 16 trained SFP instructors who teach the various sessions. Youth, ages 10-15 are partnered with parents and guardians in a fun, yet training-intensive atmosphere.
The results? Statistics prove a leap in quality family communication skills, and better relationships across the board. Family time becomes quality time in large measure!
Sessions are being scheduled now. Please contact the Jairus office for more information.

Teen 12-step Group
"During the process of the 12 step group, I have worked out a lot of problems in my life. The counselors that help me, and the others, through are excellent. It may seem a little too intense in the beginning, but as you follow through with the group and you put effort into it yourself, you get a lot out of it and make new friends during the process."
