Smart
Steps for Stepfamilies is a research
based, interactive program that
helps families develop skills in
communication, conflict resolution,
stress management, processing
feelings and other helpful topics.
Why a
Program for Stepfamilies?
-
Stepfamilies have to
juggle visitation
schedules, holidays,
birthdays, and other
occasions.
-
Stepfamilies have family
members who live with
two sets of house rules.
-
Stepfamilies hear, "You
can't tell me what to do
- you're not my mom/
dad."
The Smart Steps
Program is
designed for the
whole family to
enjoy.
Several families
work together
learning tips
from each other
while keeping
sessions light
hearted and
informative.
Children have
sessions with
and
without the
parents while
everyone learns
healthy
behaviors to
build a strong
and loving
family life.
|
Sessions
include:
-
Changes
to
anticipate
in your
family
- How
to
manage
conflicts
-
Building
strong
connections
-
...and
lots
more!
