FOCUS School-Based Skill-Building Groups: Training and Implementation

Military children encounter unique deployment-related stressors. The study examined the training and implementation of a school-based intervention, Families OverComing Under Stress (FOCUS) School-Based Skill-Building Groups (SBG). Findings revealed positive feedback from the social work interns who were trained on the model, but also pointed out challenges of implementation because of lack of support from school professionals.
