Over the course of 10 sessions, families will learn skills to:
Increase family bonding
Increase parental involvement
Increase positive parenting skills
Increase positive communication
Increase family organization
Decrease family conflict
Decrease youth depression
Decrease youth aggression
Increase youth cooperation
Increase number of prosocial friends and social competencies
