The FAST Program is an internationally-acclaimed parent engagement program that supports the family bonding necessary for children to thrive. By applying research and evidence-based family therapy practices, this program promotes the full potential of every child.
The FAST Institute of Family Engagement trains school staff to partner with families in support of children’s education and well-being. By blending best practices in teacher training and family and community engagement, this workshop helps schools to create a more welcoming environment for all families.
Families & Schools Together offers additional training and other services as part of the FAST Trainer certification process and to expand support for FAST Providers, including the annual Training of Trainers event, on demand Specialized Trainings, and an Evaluations & Services package.
