Whether working with couples, families, adults or children, participants in this workshop will learn to recognize the major challenges all stepfamilies face. They will learn a 3-level framework for meeting those challenges and avoiding some common "wrong turns" in their clinical work. The impacts of stigma and factors such as race, gender and sexual orientation on stepfamily relationships will also be explored. Participants will take away tools for softening conflict, sowing realistic hope, providing evidence-based guidance, and forging connections in their work with blended families.
