Abstract
Social support is a critical component in adequate child rearing, especially among multiproblem families at risk for child maltreatment. The authors describe the implementation of a group training program designed to help high-risk parents build more effective social supports by strengthening their prosocial attitudes and interpersonal skills. Intervention was structured around the Relationship Roadmap, a metaphoric drawing illustrating the stages of relationship development. A three-month case management follow-up enhanced the achievement of group members' individual goals. Discussion centers on the challenges of integrating an experimental training project into a host agency program.
