Westview Behavioral Health Services, in partnership with SC Children’s Trust, is excited to offer the Strengthening Families Program (SFP) for new participants in Newberry, Greenwood and Saluda Counties. Over the past few years, more than 350 families have completed SFP.

SFP has been shown to improve parenting practices, strengthen family relationships, and reduce risky behaviors in youth.
The updated SFP 7-17 curriculum includes a meal and interactive sessions for parents, children, teens and the family. Topics covered include effective communication, managing stress, setting goals, rewarding positive behavior, resolving conflict, and problem-solving. Families engage in hands-on activities that promote connection, trust, and problem-solving skills.

A nursery is provided for children up to 6 years old. There is no charge for the program, and assistance with transportation can be provided.

We are currently accepting applications for the 2026 programs.
For more information or to sign up, please contact Cindi Pitts at cpitts@westviewbehavioral.org, Ferrald Kelley at fkelley@westviewbehavioral.org or Linda Gault at lgault@westviewbehavioral.org.
