The Stepfamily Connection of North Hills (http://www.stepfamilyconnection.org/)

Welcome to the Stepfamily Connection of North Hills!
Stepfamilies face many challenges, and love and good intentions are not always enough. The Stepfamily Connection is an education and support group that can help you build strong, lasting stepfamily relationships. The meetings are free to anyone living in a stepfamily or about to become part of a stepfamily. We meet the third Thursday of each month from 7:00 to 9:00pm at AGH-Suburban Campus in Bellevue. The meetings are designed to help stepfamilies build healthy relationships and solve many of the challenges that stepfamilies face. In addition, we help you to gain positive communication skills and develop a support network of families. We also offer a variety of seminars each year to help educate stepfamilies on current topics of interest. Therefore, if you are struggling with stepfamily issues or just want to learn more about improving your relationships, you are invited to join us. We are looking forward to meeting with you. For more information and a complete schedule of educational topics, please call Dr. Anna McManus Gay at 724-799-2123.
