Content Overview
This presentation explores the traditional structure of family in previous generations. The function of the family is to supply emotional support and learning for living well. In many places in the world, social ideas of family are undergoing rapid change, and the price is paid by children and youth. Seeing healthy family dynamics may give contemporary families and care facilities another option in reclaiming youth.

Dr. Brokenleg co-authored Reclaiming Youth At Risk: Our Hope for the Future along with Drs. Larry Brendtro and Steve Van Bockern.
