Be smart:
It's next to impossible to fix a problem until:
a) you know
precisely what the problem is, and
b) you have the appropriate resources to do
the job that's required.
The quizzes, surveys and tests described on this page
will help you to identify issues of important concern in your stepfamily, and
then provide you with, or point you to the specific tools, strategies and
resources you need to address and resolve them.
Many of the resources that appear below, and many of those
linked to this page, are provided as a
free service to stepfamilies visiting this site. Those where a modest scoring
fee is levied, were developed specifically for stepfamilies, and provided for the
exclusive use of the Stepfamily Foundation of Alberta by Helpmetrics--a developer of the
premium quality self-help resources.
