The Strengthening KY Families (SKY) Parenting Education initiative provides instructional information on relevant issues that help divert crisis situations when parenting infants through young adults for families in the Lexington/Fayette County region of Kentucky. SKY Families uses a strengths-based, community partnered approach to strengthen and enhance existing parenting skills. We believe people are capable of making the best choice when they are able to identify and remove barriers that impair their ability to achieve parental success. SKY Families offers a twelve-week program focused on preventing or intervening in familial crisis situations.  By offering an evidence-based culturally competent strategy, SKY Families aides in the family reunification process and helps individuals move towards self-sufficiency.
