Family Matters NY, Inc.
PHILOSOPHY:Through its focus on unity, values, and goal-setting, Family Matters NY, Inc.’s ambitious program will guide families to intentionally design a new value system that will move them into action, and teach them how to stay proactive in the direction of their goals and desires. The Triangle Families Service in North Carolina states, “Our community is stronger when we eliminate family violence, improve financial stability, and address the emotional well-being of individuals and family members in need.” Family Matters NY, Inc., will guide local families to overcome life’s challenges by giving them the tools they need to move away from crisis and into more stable and healthy life situations—creating community well-being.
METHODOLOGY:
Through get-away weekend retreats and workshops, families will be given communication tools and problem-solving techniques that will support them in the future. Family Matters NY, Inc.’s framework relies on five vital pillars: emotional well-being, leadership, health & wellness, financial empowerment, and education. The get-away retreats will remove families from their everyday urban setting, and immerse them in a relaxing, natural environment that creates the opportunity for safety, trust, and authenticity, while promoting receptivity to new ideas.
Five Pillars of Success: Once families complete their get-way weekend, the families will continue to be engaged as a community to transform focus areas in their lifestyles (Five Pillars of Success). Families will have each other and coaches to support them through a 10-weekend commitment.
EDUCATION
Intention: To continue a path of lifelong learning. All members of the family will design their learning plan to fulfill their individual goals. As a family, they will design a learning environment at home that will support the family in their educational ventures.
LEADERSHIP
Intention: To embrace your strength and talents to influence the world around you! Every member of the family will go through a self-assessment of their inner skills and innate abilities that can help them to show up powerfully in the world.
EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING
Intention: To determines your coping ability, self-esteem, productivity, performance & longevity.
