Project Families Together

Project Families Together is a free aftercare and parenting education program for parents in recovery from substance abuse who are working towards family reunification. This once-a-week program is designed to give support, encouragement, and assistance to participants who are nearing the end of their substance abuse treatment and facing the combined pressures of re-entering the workforce, reuniting with their children, and maintaining sobriety.

A participant in Project Families Together is typically a single parent with more than one child and a history of chronic substance abuse and mandated treatment due to Child Protective Services or Family Treatment Court involvement. The program is unique in that the entire family is welcome and encouraged to attend. Dinner is provided along with adult relapse prevention/parenting groups, homework help and educational activities for the children, and fun family outings; transportation help is provided where necessary. Parents must be TANF-eligible to take part.
