Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Member of a family living in or connected to a selected MFHS-eligible cluster/cell in one of the five study districts in Rwanda. * Aged 12 years or older. * Family invited because at least one screened family member met the staged MFHS criterion for family communication difficulties after higher-priority clinical and individual mental-health triage. * Able and willing to participate in baseline assessment and, if allocated to MFHS, family/group sessions. * Written informed consent, assent, and/or caregiver permission obtained according to age and local ethics requirements. Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals with suicidality, psychosis, or severe substance-use flags were routed for clinical interview or hospital referral rather than MFHS as first-line allocation. * Individuals meeting higher-priority individual mental-health criteria were routed to Resilience-Oriented Therapy before the MFHS screening stage. * Individuals or families unable to provide consent/assent or safely participate in group family sessions were not enrolled. * Remaining individuals with social-conflict indicators after earlier stages were routed to sociotherapy rather than MFHS.
