Chapters are scattered nationwide, and if there isn't one in a certain area, SAA will help start one.
Local chapters sponsor discussion groups, enrichment weekends, and children's groups.
The association's successful program, Stepfamilies Stepping Ahead, is a widely known and respected book which teaches families methods of working out problems and improving communication. Acting as both a central clearinghouse for resources and a referral agency, SAA supports researchers, clinicians, and public policy leaders in their research on and advocacy of stepfamilies. New and existing programs are reviewed constantly by a team of volunteers, and SAA also organizes an semi-annual professional training seminars. Add your comments to the bottom of this page. I don't have an idea or suggestion but a comment.
