Building Lives and Solutions Together

BLAST is a parent engagement program that systematically develops parents’ ability to communicate with their children, to be the leader in their family and to find and use resources in their community and schools to continue to strengthen and support their family. This program has served over 700 families in Jacksonville, who have seen statistically significant improvement in classroom behaviors, home behaviors, self-esteem, family closeness and parent involvement, resulting in lower juvenile delinquency and substance abuse.
