FRONT PORCH PROJECT

The workshop focuses not on what paid professionals can do, but what each of us as individual community members can do to create healthy communities that protect children.      

The workshop is 6-hours long and teaches participants to:  

• Identify when and how to get involved when something "just doesn't seem right" with a child in your   neighborhood, place of worship, or public place

• Think of possible responses and problem-solving strategies     

• Increase their comfort level with taking action in those situations   

• Identify "roadblocks" to taking action and find ways around them     

• Identify and develop comfort with a range of parenting approaches    

• Increase awareness of the importance of prevention in helping to protect children and support families

The Front Porch Project is offered in partnership with the Pennsylvania Family Support Alliance (PFSA).  PFSA trained members of the Butler County Prevention Council to  facilitate the Front  Porch Project and they are now able to bring  the workshop to you.
