Family Leadership and Empowerment: A model for family coaching and family reunification

Research shows that in order to satisfy the needs of American families at the bottom of the social and economic pyramid, these families must learn to take advantage of, in addition to government services, the complex network of other organizations, informal helping networks, and other groups who provide small levels of support which, taken together, make the difference between a relatively stable family life and severe deprivation. The American family, the foundation of our society, must become more conscious of its potential for self-leadership.
