| To help teens experience interdependent living. In nine classroom sessions and five weekends with “practice” families, teens learn about families and how to function within one. They learn how to bring their unique values and strengths to the family and how to negotiate and compromise over differences and family rules. They learn also how to come to terms with past mistakes, mourn their losses and ensure better future outcomes. “Practice” families work with agency staff and teens to identify existing family resources or recruit new family connections – for life. 2002, 227pp., 8.5” x 11”, soft cover, spiral bound, Set includes 1 copy each of Guide, Teen Handbook and Parent Handbook |
