4 REASONS to LEARN

about STEPFAMILIES

To Order 

1.   Stepfamily relationships are everywhere.

One out of three children
under 18 lives in a stepfamily.

One out of four new marriages
creates a stepfamily. 

42% of American adults are currently
in a close step relationship.


2.  The challenges are intense. 

The phrase "blended family"
does not  describe the daily experience
of most people who live in a stepfamily,
especially in the early years.

          The challenges can be overwhelming           for both adults and kids. 


3.  What works is not intuitive.     

Blogs, tweets, and Facebook pages are dispensing well-meaning, but 
all too often, misleading advice. 



 4.  We do know what works! 

There is help:

an accessible, engaging,
evidence-based guide for stepfamily members,
clinicians, and others who want to help.
