Program Details
The 2Gen Family Engagement Program (“2Gen”) pilot emphasizes a two-generational approach to housing and family stability for families with elementary, middle, and high school-aged youth, with wrap-around services focused on family goal setting, social-emotional learning, and practice. The pilot recognizes the role of families in the driver’s seat in determining their goals and family incentives to achieve these goals.
The goal of the program is to create opportunities for families with school-aged children and teens to learn about and practice Social Emotional Learning (SEL) together. Staff will utilize The Prosperity Agenda’s Family-Centered Coaching tools and techniques to help support the whole family as they work together to build family goals, centered around their hopes and dreams. THA will build a robust partnership infrastructure based on family wants and needs.
Through various community partnerships, that will focus on Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Supports as well as with the YMCA, for mentoring and family skills support, the Program aims to increase resources access for families living in THA’s West Portfolio communities.
