Keep Connected Institute for Strengthening Family Relationships

This 2-day workshop, designed for teams of 2 or more, will teach you how to bring Keep Connected to your community, school or program – and give you the tools for success! Healthy, strong family relationships are foundational to young people’s growth, learning, and well-being. These relationships build strong social and emotional strengths that kids use throughout their lives. But great family relationships don’t just happen. Keep Connected offers all kinds of families – and organizations that support them  ideas, activities, and experiences to help build strong family relationships. Our goal is to strengthen family relationships to help kids be and become their best selves.
