Families and couples will meet weekly for four months with a therapist for intensive sissions. Then, they will meet with the therapist once a month for eight months of follow-up. Couples who complete the project will be invited to serve as mentors for other families.
Non-intensive educational workshops are provided on a monthly basis.

Participants will recieve incentives for regular participation, such as:
• Retail Store Gift Cards
