Fill the Gap Program

 

Strong families are the foundation for a strong community.

 

Healthier, happier children are the result of strong families in a strong community. That is why Fill the Gap Program is working to build stronger families in the community.

 

Children who grow up in a loving family, one that includes mom and dad:

• Do better in school
• Are physically healthier
• Are less likely to engage in criminal activities
• Are less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol
• Are less likely to commit suicide
• Are less likely to run away or have behavioral problems
  

Separation of families and father-absence in the lives of our children are challenges our community must face.

When families separate, it is important that children remain connected to both parents. Even though the relationship has ended, parenting does not! Helping Families… Fill the Gap Program is working to help parents navigate through the issues and obstacles that often occur after families separate.

Working with Dads (Non-Custodial Parents)…

While both parents are responsible for the financial physical and emotional well-being of their children, many dads experience problems fulfilling this role. Fill the Gap Program works with dads as they overcome the obstacles that are preventing them from providing for their children.

 

Working with Moms (Custodial Parents)…

Facing the day-to-day realities of providing for children can be overwhelming. Fill the Gap Program works with moms, helping them to successfully deal with the many issues that commonly occur in separated families.

 

Working with Couples…

Building healthy relationships can be a challenge – when relationships don’t work, we often are left wondering what went wrong. Fill the Gap Program’s Building Healthy Relationship classes provide the skills and techniques that can result in more satisfying and long-lasting relationships.
