CFS teaches youth to overcome inter-personal violence
Prince Albert’s Catholic Family Services (CFS) is once again offering the youth program Climbing the Rock.
The cognitive based youth program is a part of CFS’s Family Life Education programs and helps teenagers deal with inter-personal violence in their life.
Rose Rothenburger, program coordinator for CFS, said Climbing the Rock is open to teens grade seven and up. The program runs one night a week for 90 minutes.
“It’s really a program for them to learn about overcoming inter-personal violence. So that could be violence in the home, it could be bullying, it could be even gangs. The program uses behavioral and skill-oriented strategies to help young people overcome personal struggles that they encounter after being exposed to any kind of inter-personal violence,” Rothenburger said.
