What People are saying: "Domestic Violence has historically been a hidden issue in our community, as it is in most communities. Because people have been so hesitant to talk about it, it has been difficult to identify the families in need of help. Adelante is helping to educate the community about domestic violence and appropriate family interactions. In doing so, it has encouraged more women to come forward and discuss their concerns about challenging situations in the home, so they can get the help they need." - Celso Rodriguez, one of Adelante's founding board members

The Hispanic Family Focus Program (HFFP) strengthens families by equipping them with the parenting skills necessary to create a positive home-life for themselves and their children. HFFP is a culturally relevant prevention program that addresses barriers which have kept Latino families in high-risk status.

HFFP is based on a belief that stronger Latino families will produce stronger community pride, and ultimately result in better neighborhoods.

All enrolled clients complete one of three 15-week sessions, which meet two hours per week. This includes six ATOD prevention education weeks and nine weeks of parenting, which includes but is not limited to the importance of school attendance, communication skills, managing anger and problem solving.

To enhance the family’s chances of success in the Hispanic Family Focus programs, Adelante also offers support services, including General Equivalency Diploma (GED) and English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. Adelante provides additional support to ensure success in these programs, including transportation to group sessions and appointments, child care, home visits and referrals to local providers for food, clothing and shelter.
