For
many years as community workers, educators, therapists
and clergy we watched families struggle to solve their problems.
We saw the need for simple, useful tools to help families work better.
Taking from the best of social science and psychological research,
we put together our ideas of the skills and patterns that consistently
show up in healthy families. Our goal was to create a program that
could be understood by families of various cultures, including those
who might never seek family therapy. Since 1980, Family Wellness has
trained over 10,000 instructors who have presented the Family
Wellness programs
to over 1,000,000 families around the world. We welcome you.
We are pleased to announce that the first comprehensive book on the Family Wellness model is scheduled to be published by W.W. Norton and Company, Inc., in October 2012. The title is "Family Wellness Skills: Quick Assessment and Practical Interventions for the Mental Health Professional." Orders may be placed directly through the publisher at wwnorton.com or through other outlets such as barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com and walmart.com.
