South Dade Violence Intervention & Family Unity Program
Building a Brighter Future, Together
We believe that every family deserves a chance to thrive. That's why we created Sprout Up's South Dade Violence Intervention & Family Unity Program, a 6-week initiative that empowers families to build strong bonds, overcome challenges, and create a safer, healthier future for themselves and their children.
Program Goals
1
Growth
We aim to create a safe space for South Dade families to grow together through engaging
activities such as field days, innovative skill-building, community gardening and mental health support.
2
Evolution
Family therapy and mental health resources can guide families to evolve together by facilitating healing and self-discovery, building the skills to navigate past emotional traumas and discover empowering tools for their well-being.
3
Development
By celebrating milestones and accessing ongoing resources, families will have the tools necessary to keep their children safe and develop a future together in which every member of the family is able to thrive harmoniously.
What to Expect
Our program is a chance for families to reconnect, rediscover their strengths, and learn new ways to cope with adversity. Through engaging workshops led by partnering organizations, families will explore topics like conflict resolution, stress management, and positive parenting. They'll also enjoy fun-filled activities like field days, STEM projects, and community gardening that spark creativity, build confidence, and nurture a sense of belonging.
Studies have shown that spending time in nature can reduce anxiety and depression, boost self-esteem, and foster social connection. That's why each session includes time spent tending to our flourishing garden, where families can learn valuable skills, find solace in nature, and connect with each other on a deeper level.
We believe that every step forward deserves to be celebrated. That's why we host community harvests at the end of each 6-week cohort, sharing a delicious meal and creating lasting memories. These gatherings are more than just celebrations; they're opportunities to build bridges, strengthen community bonds, and create a network of support that extends far beyond the program.
