title: America's family support movement: strengths and limitations.
abstract: Current social and environmental trends have increased the family's need for support. Both grass roots and university-based programs have emerged to meet this need. This paper, the first of four on the family support movement, outlines the advantages of integrating these two types of program, discusses problems of funding and evaluation, and underscores the importance of family support and education programs finding their niche within the established social services system.
