a successful stepfamily can feel like a puzzle with pieces that
don’t easily fit together …

Feb 21 Building a Successful Stepfamily Conference
with Ron Deal, author of SmartSteps, in Richmond 8:30 am – 5pm. The
conference is being held at St Giles Presbyterian Church 5200 Grove
Ave. Youth Program and Childcare available. Sponsored by First
Things First, CCTC and many denominations and congregations. www.FirstThingsRichmond.org
or call (804) 358-1343.
Concept:
This
event offers encouragement, wisdom, and compassion for puzzling
times in blending families.
30 % of weddings are forming blending families and 65% of
remarriages will end in divorce but they can beat the odds with
help… the seminar brings the practical solutions they need for
finding sanity and success in today’s stepfamilies.
Speaker:
Ron Deal, LMFT, LPC
is a noted author, therapist, and stepfamily educational
specialist recognized as perhaps the national expert on
stepfamilies. His books include The Smart Stepfamily: Seven
Steps to a Healthy Family, co-author with Dr. David Olson
of The Remarriage Couple Checkup. Currently he is a member
of the Stepfamily Expert Council for the National Stepfamily
Resource Center, and is an adjunct faculty member of Talbot School
of Theology's doctoral program in effective family ministry.
Ron is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed
Professional Counselor with 20 years experience in church
ministry.
“Successful
Stepfamilies is the most highly practical program I know for helping
couples who are dealing with the common struggles of stepparenting…
I highly recommend this program.” --
Dr. Gary Chapman, Author of Five Love Languages
I heartily recommend support of this
Stepfamilies Conference. Ron Deal's book is the book I give to
couples I am doing premarital counseling with who are about to
become blended families..
