Family life education focuses on teaching the skills and knowledge needed for healthy functioning: strong communication skills, knowledge of typical human development, good decision-making skills, positive self-esteem, and healthy interpersonal relationships. The goal of family life education is to enable individuals and families to function optimally using a primarily preventive approach.
Four Child and Family Studies majors presented MULTI-SESSION Family Life Education programs to various groups in central Ohio. CFS Seniors Abbey Latham, Katie Mock, Marley McDonough, and Sarah Ebinger all participated in this final project before their graduation from AU on May 7th.
