Continuation of the strong family program training.

On Saturday, February 28, 2026, Community Action Network Inc. completed phase two of the "Strong Family Program training that brought caregivers and children together, with laughter and curiosity filling the room. They played games, shared stories, learned to communicate better, and build resilient during difficult times while maintaining stronger bonds as a family.

During the training session, one of the caregivers hugged her child, tears in her eyes after listening to some of the issues children go through daily that may lead to stressful situations, "I never knew they felt this way." A dad learned to listen more. As they left, hand in hand, smiles said it all: stronger family bonds were forming 🌟.
