The Positive Lifestyles program is designed to improve the relationship between parents and youth ages 11 to 18 by providing a positive interaction.

The program teaches basic life and social skills such as communication, problem-solving, anger management, emotional regulation, making smart choices, cultural awareness, and family values. 

Positive LifeStyles is a FREE program. The program has open enrollment to anyone wanting to participate.  It is a six-week course where participants meet one evening a week.  The program serves the areas of Washita, Beckham, Greer, Jackson, Harmon, Tillman, and Kiowa Counties. At least one parent or guardian must consistently attend each class with his or her child.

 Parent goals of the program are to learn better ways to communicate with all family members, learn to listen and understand each other, reinforce and enhance positive parenting skills, and learn more effective means of discipline to change negative interactions.  Youth goals include how to deal with anger positively, the necessary skills to achieve self-control, how to make better decisions to avoid negative consequences, and how to problem-solve more effectively.

To enroll your child into the program, please call Lindsey McDaugale at (580)726-3383 to submit a referral and schedule an intake appointment.
