This non-profit, non-denominational, educational site offers clear, practical options for avoiding five hazards and building long-term, high-nurturance family relationships together. The site's goals are (a) publicizing and breaking the toxic [wounds + unawareness] cycle, (b) preventing and reducing psychological wounds, and (c) reducing epidemic divorce. Links here will open summary-popup windows and hundreds of experience-based articles and resources. This site is designed for (a) people in all families, and their supporters, (b) mature students, and (c) human-service and media professionals. These 150+ Web articles and worksheets are based on professional stepfamily research since 1979, including over 17,000 hours of clinical consultations with more than 1,000 typical Midwestern-U.S. co-parents and kids. These materials are designed to alert, inform, motivate, and guide you, and are richly inter-linked. The materials here are meant to be downloaded and printed for non-profit offline use. Much of this site's content is now available in six related guidebooks. They are unique in the personal growth and healing, communication, and stepfamily genres. Study these slide presentations, then read these foundation articles first - all other articles assume you have. |
