Border Programs Overview

The educational programs offer opportunities to address complicated issues in family and society at a time of increased challenges.  These programs are designed to speak clearly to the emotional and societal forces that impinge on families, organizations, and community life with new thinking gained from the study of natural systems and the family.

All programs are open to individual family members who see the possibility of living a more productive life and to any families in search of guidelines for managing current challenges to family functioning.  In addition, community leaders and organizational leaders will find principles to guide their forward movement with a greater understanding of automatic emotional forces that often limit effectiveness.  As always, the programs are designed to assist mental health professionals and social service workers to provide more effective programs and coaching for the families and individuals who use their services.  Scholarships may also be available.

Additional bilingual programs and programs in Spanish will be posted soon.
