As a clinician, which of the following applies to your practice and the families you work with?
I work with complicated family systems that present with trauma, addictive behaviors and/or attachment wounds.
My clients are often stuck in a cycle of crisis after crisis, and it’s difficult to get to the root of their issues.
It would be helpful to have at my fingertips an online family assessment tool that identifies and prioritizes therapeutic goals for a family.
I would like a tool to help me to work more efficiently and effectively with families to improve clinical outcomes.
I would like to have a data-rich report that empirically supports the subjective experience and practice of family work and presents complex data in meaningful, easy to understand and use formats.
Benefits to Clinicians

Data/findings presented in both written and visual form
Learn valuable information that clients may not naturally share early in the therapeutic process
Help your clients be more aware of problematic issues and dynamics within their family system
Have data to support your perspective on a family system and your approach to working with them
Identification of problematic addictive behaviors and/or unresolved trauma in the family requiring treatment-specific specialty or added support (i.e. ACT, EMDR, DBT, Psychiatry, etc.)
Suggestions for curating integration of assessment results into the client’s treatment
