Stronger
Your DIY Guide to Building a Family Strengthening Kit and using it to see your family thrive!
This course is aimed for parents with children under the age of 10 and presented by South African social workers, a clinical psychologist and counsellors who live, eat and breathe to see families just like yours – thrive!
We've taken everything we've learned from over a decade of strengthening families and looked at how research has said family resilience should be built. Our highly skilled team then put together a practical, low cost, easy to use kit for the families we work with and now we want to share our kit with you.
Arise Family is an NGO based on the Cape Flats of South Africa. We believe that every child is created to be part of a thriving family. Our model incorporates strength-based and resilience building interventions, and we work with both children and parents or caregivers to counsel, strengthen, and equip families so that they can be a place where children feel safe, loved, and find a sense of belonging.
Arise has over 12 years experience in programme development and facilitation. We have won national awards for our programmes that are now being used internationally. The goal of our work has always been to see families, groups and individuals develop in a thriving environment in order to reach their full potential. We want to see this for your family too!
Sign up for this seven module course and walk away with an easy-to-use, fun toolbox of activities, built around 5 pillars that will see your family thrive. This online course will teach you how to put a Family Strengthening Kit together, and how to use each of the items in the kit to deepen relationships, nurture strengths, grow problem solving skills, improve communication, and foster a sense of belonging. All of these are key factors in the development of family resilience and connectedness.
Stronger isn’t so much a training program as it is a practical tool box to equip you to strengthen your family.
Yes, you'll learn the strategies behind everything you do, but more importantly, you'll have a whole host of easy to implement ideas that you can use whenever you feel like it. Our workbook provides you with simple explanations of the activities and a detailed checklist of all the equipment you’ll use to put your kit together. This kit leaves nothing out and takes nothing for granted as you implement it.
The end result: a feeling of contentment as you enjoy parenting and building your relationship with your children.
Nowhere else will you get the practical suggestions on how to use everyday items to strengthen your relationships. And it’s highly customizable! We encourage you to take the skills you have learnt and adapt, add and expand on the activities to suit your family!

But why is resilience important?
Family is the crucible of life. It is the starting point of all relationships and the course of our family life dictates many of our future paths. We need families that can weather the storms thrown at them and emerge capable as they adapt, engage, connect and learn to thrive in the midst of challenges. Strong and resilient families are needed to ensure that children grow up to reach their full potential.
And this is what it could look like for you. Quality time with your kids where you all are laughing, having fun and connecting. Feeling confident as you approach hard conversations and a growing appreciation for how your beloved child is able to open up and express what they are feeling. Knowing that even as you approach the hard bits of parenting like challenging behaviour or helping our kids to learn, you’re doing so with the skills and ability to put your relationship with your child first and continue to foster their sense of self.
All of this is possible, by using the simple, everyday, cost effective activities included in your own family strengthening kit.
Each module includes a section on why the category was included in the kit and some key principles about each category, and another section that explains specific activities to achieve your goals in that category, as well as the items in the kit that will help you do this.

All 20 videos can be viewed in about 75 minutes total. Each module consists of 3 videos that last between 10-15 minutes, allowing you to watch in small time increments convenient to you.
Putting your kit together should not take much time at all once you have collected all the required materials. Collecting the materials should be fairly easy in a single shopping trip and by going through the arts and crafts supplies you already have at home. The entire kit should take less than 2 hours to assemble, including and shopping that needs to be done.
This kit has been designed to be low cost and easy to assemble. The exact cost will depend entirely on how many items you need to buy, where you buy them and possibly the country you live in. At our centre, we are able to put the kits together for R350 each.
The beauty of the Family Strengthening Kit is that there is no right or wrong way to use it! You can use it where ever and whenever you would like, as often as you like. Some families choose a set time about once a week to do a family activity together, others use it daily to have play time together and still others dip into the kit and the skills discussed as they need it in their family lives.
You are welcome to do the course in the way it best suits you. Some people have found it helpful to watch everyone in one go before they put their kits together and others have worked at the course a little at a time, on a weekly basis. We will send you a weekly email prompt to help keep you on track and encourage you to keep working through the modules. You can also go back and redo modules more slowly as and when you need to.
