Indeed, families are now made of up step-parents and step-siblings, same-sex parents, parents in prison, grandparents as primary caregivers, adoptees, and children in foster care. This workshop endeavors  to discuss the challenges these changes bring to our students and gathers practical ways to help them cope with society's attitudes  and thrive. Lecture, discussion, experiential, and self-directed exploration.
