“Extended Family for Kids (EFK): Led 18 EFK programs in 8 Cherokee Co. schools and 2 EFK programs in Chattooga County, Ga schools. One EFK program includes 9 lessons. In 2019, Cherokee County EFK recorded enrollment of 113and Chattooga County EFK recorded enrollment of 22. A new program, Extended Leadership Academy, enrolled 36. We led EFK Program Leader Training Workshops in Etowah, Calhoun, Jefferson, and Morgan Counties with 123 enrolled. EFK is a curriculum-based program for children of the incarcerated consisting of nine 45-minute sessions. Sessions are hands on, with activities and lessons to help the children get through this time in their life successfully. Each lesson gives the students a new skill, resulting in increased self-esteem and personal responsibility. Teaching the child how to make better choices than their loved ones made is the focus of EFK. One impact study has shown EFK students grade levels came up and disciplinary referrals went down. An annual Extended Family for Kids Training Workshop is presented for school counselors, administrators, and school appointed personnel. Going Home Workshop (GH): Taught a total of 35 inmates in 2 workshops at the St. Clair prison. The interactive workshop is 2 hours and is designed to help re-entering inmates and their families adjust to life on the outside with a focus on the family dynamics that occur when the incarcerated individual returns home. The purpose of the workshop is to identify six specific problem areas and provide practical solutions for each. Workshop participants are equipped with new tools to use during that first year of re-entry and beyond.
