About WE- Empower Family 

​

WE-EMPOWER Family Coaching is an intensive 10-week process, where up to 10 families make up a cohort and commit to attending and being present for culturally congruent family coaching sessions.  Participating family members partner with CBTC facilitator/coaches to identify goals and acquire tools that will ultimately improve their family dynamics and build capacity to partner with and build community. Family dynamics are the interactions between family members, how they relate to one another and how the family functions as a whole.
