About Your Family Matters
"Your Family Matters" is a weekly show focusing on various important issues relating to children, adolescents, adults, parenting, and family mental health. All segments will incorporate both theory, research, and practical advice utilizing key points. Some segments will be part of a series, such as "Getting Ready To Go Back To School", while other pieces will be single-subject segments. Many of the topics will be taken from our viewer's e-mails and questions while other topics will be chosen based on popular interest and importance.
Each weekly Blog gives a detailed description of the topic discussed on FITM. In addition, the Blog is also published in a number of newspapers throughout San Diego.
