Strong families make strong communities

Home Management Seminar

The most important "vehicle" Home Management Resources has for serving people is the Family Life Seminar, which provides the essential skills needed to manage a home and family. It is comprised of specialized training in the areas of personal growth, attitude, home, family and community, finance and food. Since 1986 we have served 656 people who have come to us because of their desire to improve the life of their families or who recognize the need for required change in their family life. These students have been referred to us by either word of mouth or one of many local health or service agencies.

Specialized Training Workshops

After completing the Family Life Seminar, many desire in-depth study of one of the topics which was introduced. The Specialized Training workshops are designed for just this purpose. The workshops allow concentration in one particular area of instruction.

Professional Effectiveness Seminar

Available to social service and health professionals twice a year at our site. The course gives us the chance to present our techniques and philosophy to professionals who can refer clients or employees to the program. The sessions give an overview of the material that we teach in our Family Life Seminars. Professional Effectiveness Seminars offer us an excellent opportunity to network with other agencies and leads to increased cooperation among the social service community.
