Youth and the Family

“ We have a powerful potential in our youth, and we must have the courage to change old ideas and practices so that we may direct their power toward good ends. ”
Mary McLeod Bethune

Youth Programmes and Services

Morning Star's youth programmes and services focus on offering mentoring and guidance in a youth's formative years. These crucial years see youth making meaning of themselves, their relationships and the world at large. The workshops, groupwork, and projects facilitate understanding of issues and promote healthy coping and decision making.

Parents and Youth

Many parent-teens relationships today are strained and challenged by tension, disagreements, power struggles and conflicting influences. Unresolved tension in family relationships often lead to withdrawal among youth resulting in them being more vulnerable to powerful influences from the media and peers. As our lifestyles become more and more complex, it is critical that we find ways to facilitate greater connection between teens and their parents. Our Parent-Teen experiential workshops include topics such as parent-teen communication; growing healthy boy-girl relationships and mentoring vs pure instruction and advice giving.
