The Healthy Families/Futures project of One Great River engages parents of late elementary and early middle school children in evidence-based, educational programs to promote healthy behaviors.

One Great River has adopted the evidence-based Families That Care: Guiding Good Choices educational program developed by Dr. David Hawkins and Dr. Richard Catalano of the University of Washington.  The curriculum is owned and published by Channing-Bete Company Inc., all rights reserved.

Parents participate in a 5-session workshop series to learn how to:

Strengthen Family Bonds

Develop Healthy Beliefs and Clear Standards

Manage Parent/Child Conflicts

Help Teens to Avoid Health and Behavior Problems

Guiding Good Choices is provided at Schools, Community and Faith-based organizations by trained One Great River Workshop Facilitators. One Great River is also certified by Channing Bete Company to conduct Guiding Good Choices Workshop Leader Training.
