Through drama, documentary and comedy, Family and Friends takes a stand for the family, offering support and encouragement of families as they are struggling in difficult times. Parenting author and broadcaster Sharon McKay hosts the series with help from consultants Barbara Coloroso ("Kids Are Worth It") and Susie Tamas (Educator/Consultant). Dramatic re-enactments of typical family situations and hilarious segments from Mom's The Word comedy troupe highlight each episode.

Family & Friends addresses many of the questions facing families in the new millennium. It looks at why things happen in our families, and explores how families deal with contemporary issues. Each show in the series offers an in depth look at topics such as: how we learn to be parents, the trails and tribulations of non-custodial parents after a divorce, the importance of self-esteem to both parents and their children, and how children deal with the loss of a best friend, a parent or grandparent. Family & Friends is essential television viewing for the whole family.
