Tool Description |
Families and Schools Together (FAST) is a multifamily group intervention aimed at reducing anxiety and aggression, while increasing social skills in children 5 to 14 years of age. Its goals are to (1) enhance family functioning; (2) prevent the target child from experiencing school failure; (3) prevent substance abuse by the child and other family members; and (4) reduce the stress that parents and children experience from daily life situations. Entire families (5 to 25) participate in program activities, designed to build respect for parents, bonds among family members, and bonds between family members and the school. |
