A Framework for Developing Family Life Education Programs

Abstract

Family life education is becoming an increasingly important part of the work of human service providers. Although there have been many important advancements in family life education in the last decade, there is still limited articulation of the criteria needed to develop and implement effective family life programs, especially those designed for community-based prevention efforts. This paper begins to outline the relevant methodological issues that need to be considered for the creation of effective family life education programs.
