Testimonials
"The Creating Lasting Family Connections Curriculum is the most flexible and effective program we have implemented in our entire 20 year history. We currently deliver the curriculum in 17 schools in three districts, as well as city and county juvenile justice programs, and a suburban community based site.
Educators and probation officers alike continue to comment favorably on the noticeable positive changes in behavior and improved conduct of their students and probationers. The curriculum, coupled with the outstanding "Staff Implementation Training" combines to create a powerful message and approach to facilitating positive and lasting growth opportunities for youth and their families."

We have been implementing this program with the youth in our correctional
facility and the youth have really enjoyed the groups and the information
we are providing them. They find the topics also reinforce and help them practice
things they knew previously.

Just completed another class with kids at the Alternative High School.
They received ˝ credit for attending. Despite all our stresses and imperfections,
we all learned something and all connected. It’s a matter of trusting in the
process and the curriculum. My Co-facilitators helped me lighten up, work
as a teammate, and gave great examples of setting boundaries. The kids couldn’t
share as a group very well, but each connected individually with one of us.
CLFC brings peace to many of the kids. I’m grateful to be a conduit.

As a CLFC Master Trainer for four years has opened opportunities for
employment and in my confidence level, being only a high school graduate,
I find myself very marketable in the employment field by listing the modules
and being certified in that area. I also talk to participants who are like
me and want to work in this area. That CLFC is plain and simple to learn.
CLFC Master Training increases your confidence. It is loaded with direct information
that you can use in your family and community connectedness. I am proud and
was truly blessed when I decided to take this curriculum. I would testify
to anyone and anywhere that the knowledge gain will help you and anyone you
come in contact with, so thank you Ted and CLFC staff for the opportunity
and knowledge you have given me.

The Youth really enjoyed the Getting Real module. They enjoyed the
role-playing so much we added an additional session so that they could practice
“Getting Real”. As we move toward “Developing a Positive Response" we
were so involved with asking questions and sharing experiences you could see
the interest. I am learning and growing as I facilitate the CLFC program,
and to see the interaction and hear the response from youth is a great feeling
to see they want to learn and grow also.

The CLFC model has been wonderful and very practical in its implementation.
We are figuring out ways of bringing it into schools. The Master training
has provided some valuable contacts for implementation. We are looking forward
to future implementations this year.
