Are you or someone you know having power struggles with the children in your life? Building Families is an evidenced-based, in-home program that offers practical, hands-on tools and teaches specific skills to improve children’s behavior and reduce stress for parents. Through the use of Family Specialists, the program strives to improve communication and healthy family functioning through the use of tested parenting techniques taught by experienced and passionate professionals.
The Building Families program grew out of programs offered at Thornwell Home for Children in Clinton, SC, which has been providing services to children and families since 1875. Thornwell can now offer services to families beyond its residential campus and is excited to announce that St. Andrews Presbyterian Church is their partner here in Tucker and the surrounding areas to launch Building Families in this area. This in-home program is offered in South Carolina, Florida, and launched in Georgia two years ago.
Sarah “Say” Spencer, BSW, MSW, LCSW, Family Specialist and Building Families Georgia Supervisor now has an office at St. Andrews and is available for parenting seminars, PTA programs, workshops, and offers the services of Building Families through customized programs to fit each family’s needs and parental goals.
