Family Skills
When family life is consistenly warm, loving, and structured, young people thrive. When families struggle with illness, addiction, or behaviorial problems, young people may develop rigid rules and roles that do not serve them well as adults. Development of healthy coping skills can divert young people from escaping negative feelings with risky behavior.
