Stepfamily Systems is a unique online resource to assist a single parent, remarried parent, or stepparents in a co-raising situation. The website offers a variety of resources both for free and minimal monthly costs to aid the stepfamily or blended family in overcoming challenges present in these types of living situations.

President of Stepfamily Systems, Tricia Powe, has been a member of a stepfamily all of her life. She holds certifications in Philanthropy and Divorce Mediation. She has done extensive research in stepfamily assimilation management planning (SAM). She is also the Creative Director of A Richter Blend, Stepfamily Chronicles, a prime-time print series.

Stepfamily Systems provides four options for people seeking help in this area. The first is a free column written about the myriad of issues involved in step and blended family situations, called Dear Stepfamily Strategist. The second is a mix of column resources as well as help making an individual SAM plan. The third option provides all of the resources listed previously as well as extra guidance through the first 45 days of the SAM process. The fourth is a special Stepfamily Planning Focal Points notebook available for order online.
