FRC needs support for parenting skills programme

(CNS):  The Family Resource Centre is appealing to the community to donate gift certificates to be used as a prizes for families taking part in the free courses it offers to improve parenting. The government agency delivers an eight week long course between six to eight times a year, helping around 60 families annually that need skills to improve their family dynamic. At the end of the programmes the families involved celebrate their graduation and the FRC uses gift certificates to reward the families with a fun day out.

The courses are all free to the recipients and are designed to strengthen individuals and build stronger families. The Family Skills Programme (FSP), which is a closed group of 5-8 persons referred by relevant partner agencies, is one of many programmes the agency runs annually to help with social problems.

Atlantis Submarine, the Turtle Farm, Kingpin Bowling, Red Sail Sport, Ritz Carlton, Pizza Hut, Dolphin Cove, Cayman Kayak, Imaginarium, the Regal Cinema and the National Trust are all current sponsors for the programme but the Resource Centre said it is seeking more partners in the community that can help with providing the rewards.
