Continuation of the strong family program training.

On Saturday, February 28, 2026, Community Action Network Inc. completed phase two of the "Strong Family Program training that brought caregivers and children together, with laughter and curiosity filling the room. They played games, shared stories, learned to communicate better, and build resilient during difficult times while maintaining stronger bonds as a family.

During the training session, one of the caregivers hugged her child, tears in her eyes after listening to some of the issues children go through daily that may lead to stressful situations, "I never knew they felt this way." A dad learned to listen more. As they left, hand in hand, smiles said it all: stronger family bonds were forming 🌟.

Thanks to the Ministry of Health through the Mental Health Unit for the support and coordination and to our volunteers for the sacrifices and efforts in ensuring that the strong family program training objectives are achieve.

We make prevention more effective when we channel it through learning from approaches that are results oriented.
✔ Proven approaches are preferable to guesswork.
✔ Sharing the teachings allows you to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
✔ The challenges and different risk factors are universal, as are the solutions.
Prevention is universal. When it works somewhere, it can work anywhere, provided it creates awareness of the local culture.

👐 Prevention is a shared responsibility.
Teachers, parents, counsellors, coaches, and friends all play a role.
Prevention works best when every adult in a young person’s life is on the same page and models healthy choices.
Together, we create the environment for youth to thrive.
