The Families Together parenting program builds upon the Skilful Parenting Curriculum and Program, an evidence-based positive parenting approach of Investing in Children and Their Societies (ICS-SP).
It aims to promote positive parenting practices and family relationships, with the ultimate goal of promoting children’s positive development, preventing violence against children, and strengthening families. The Families Together program is designed to support all caregivers with children aged 0-17 years.
