Setting and Achieving Family Goals
Building Strong Families
Family goal setting is an effective way to build family cohesion and enrich family life. Goal setting helps families to focus on mutual values and priorities while balancing work and school. Families that consistently set goals display increased clarity when making decisions, demonstrate effective time management techniques, and optimize the use of resources. Whether long term or short term, family goals contribute to the development of meaningful motivation, responsibility, and self-efficacy. Participants in this interactive workshop will gain an understanding of the different types of family goals, learn what actions support family goal setting, and identify techniques that promote collaborative achievement.
