The purpose of this seminar is to examine all aspects of the relationship dynamics that tend to strain and destabilize the Black Family. Among the topics that will be explored are parent to child relationships, youth to youth, and community to youth relationships.  

With a particular focus of breaking down barriers and walls of communication, this seminar will be provocative, informative and interactive.

Participants will walk away with techniques to better communicate with their own children or the youth that they serve.  Young people will learn the "language" of engagement and how to be heard by adults.

All aspect of family life will be up for discussion including how to make divorce work for all involved, single parent homes and creating a "web" of support for both parent and child, sibling rivalries, domestic violence prevention, and making blended families work.
