What this trial studies

This study evaluates a psychoeducation-based program aimed at enhancing mental health in families by improving communication and conflict resolution. Families will be randomly assigned to either a self-study condition with coaching or a more interactive condition that includes video sessions with a family coach. The program will be implemented in community settings across three cities in Indiana, with assessments conducted before, after, and one year following the intervention. The research will also explore factors affecting the program's implementation and scalability.
