Connecting Families! Family Forum Program - Larimer Center for Mental Health
» The Family Forum is a six-week family education and support program designed to help families of children with challenging behavior. The program is designed to serve all families, but especially Latino families and families with adjudicated youth. Meetings are bi-lingual and bi-cultural. Each meeting includes dinner, then the children leave to do activities with qualified childcare provided. The parents then explore topics they have chosen as a group.
