Summary
The impact of a family centered prevention program, Families OverComing Under Stress Family Resilience Training (FOCUS), on the psychological adjustment of military children and parents was examined. Distress was significantly related among family members at the outset of the intervention; family functioning was improved at the end of the program as well as four to six months after the program ended.
