The Forge Program isn’t just here for teens! We serve our parents as well by teaching their kids about owning up to their mistakes, having a listening ear, and growing to be their best self through different programs. These skills allow you & your child to communicate easier, discuss difficult situations your teen is dealing with, and bring a sense of community into your own home.
