A program to improve family functioning and parenting skills, and to decrease youth substance abuse and behavior problems for families with children, ages 10-14.  The program is delivered in seven parent, youth, and family sessions using narrated videos portraying typical youth and parent situations with diverse families. The program is taught with 7-10 families over seven weeks for two hours each session. Parents and youth meet in separate groups for the first hour and together as families during the second hour to practice skills, play games, and do family projects. Sessions are highly interactive and include role-playing, discussions, learning games, and family projects. This curriculum addresses youth risk such as: aggressive or withdrawn behavior, negative peer influence, poor school performance, lack of prosocial goals, and poor relationship with parents. Protective factors addressed include: positive future goals, peer pressure resistance skills, prosocial peer relationships, positive management of emotions, and empathy with parents.
