The Family Solutions Program (FSP) delivers early intervention to youth and their families by working together in multi-family groups to strengthen family relationships and prepare youth for successful futures.  Family Solutions has over 15 lessons that can be used in a group.  All skills work to help reduce truancy, improve communication and relationships with parents, reduce problem behaviors among youth, and help youth to realize the importance of their education. Below are a few examples of FSP topics and their application to family life.
