FOCUS Project at UCLA Semel Institute

The FOCUS Project (Families OverComing Under Stress) is a resiliency-building program designed for military families and children facing the multiple challenges of combat operational stress during wartime. FOCUS is founded on leading evidenced-based family intervention models for at-risk families which have demonstrated positive emotional, behavioral and adaptive outcomes for families over time and was developed by the UCLA Center for Community Health and the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress.
