Summary
This study tests a brief, 3-session family therapy program for children aged 2-9 with mental health challenges like anxiety or behavior problems.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a short, 3-session family therapy program is a practical and effective way to improve child mental health and family relationships.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage program evaluation with only 30 families, so results may not apply to all families. It is not a controlled trial, so improvements could be due to other factors.
