These Extension programs are designed for families who are seeking to improve everyday communication among family members. They emphasize skill building for improving family communication and interaction and are not a replacement for families who need counseling or therapy to deal with their family problems.

It could be friends, co-workers, community members, and family members, too. FamilyTALK: Making It Work and Basic Family Communication are created specifically for families who are seeking to improve their skills in communicating with each other.
