Summary
This study tests whether a short, online writing program called Grow Together, Thrive Together (G2T2) is practical and acceptable for young adults (ages 18-25) and their parents or caregivers. The program asks participants to reflect on disagreements from an outside perspective to promote healthier conflict. The goal is to see if families can be recruited, stick with the program, and find it useful, not to measure effectiveness yet.
