In-person family events

Bring families together, right at your school.

Frankly equips school leaders, counselors, social workers and family liaisons with guides, plans and tools for different types of family gatherings at your school or district.

Three kinds of events. Pick the depth that fits.

Every event happens in person at your school and comes with a ready-to-run guide, slides and videos, so anyone on your team can lead it.
