The UVU Stronger Families Project (SFP) is comprised of the collective engaged learning
efforts of many different departments, programs, and internships across Utah Valley
University. The SFP leverages student engaged learning experiences to help families
achieve meaningful and successful lives in a mutually beneficial way. Families participate
for free in weekly classes and receive personalized support from individual family
coaches.
Mission Statement: “Elevate the family as the fundamental source of happiness and
well-being by
teaching parents, teens, and children how to improve their interactions and emotional
patterns within the family.”
Back in 2008, the UVU Family Science department launched a unique program that addressed how families could identify and build on their strengths and learn new skills from a researched-based curriculum to improve family life and relationships. The program has grown to include multiple sites across Utah County in partnership with the Alpine School District, servicing about 200 families a year. The Stronger Family Project is facilitated and supervised by UVU faculty in the Family Science program.
