“I can’t say enough about Stephanie Bryan’s Active Parenting for Step Families class.  As I was becoming a step-parent I found it offered great support and insight.  The material was easy to work with and fostered empathy and understanding for both me and my partner.  I encourage couples to read the book and class materials together and make this a shared experience.  For us, it was a most helpful and important part of our transition as a family.” In appreciation, Doris Fasbender
