Please help us to choose which two of our six books should be free for all.

SPSF stands for Strong People Strong Families.

There are six books that we have made available at this time and from which you may choose the two that should be free for all. Please visit The Family Centre to see all of the book covers and to read a brief description of each book.

To appeal to a wider audience, the books are illustrated, colourful and easy to read. They are well researched and also contain views of contributors. The target audience includes parents, educators and helping professionals. Due to our focus on critical thinking, questions that encourage critical thinking will be posed during 'strong family sessions', many of which will be free to the community as part of FIPA's mission to help the community Readers can respond to these questions at the sessions or by writing to fipafamily@gmail.com.

SPSF has been seven years in development. SPSF History and Research explains why the project was created and the primary research methods used.
