This paper describes a graduate seminar designed to provide a multidisciplinary student group with the experience of using a team approach for assessing group family needs, conceptualizing a services and self-support model for meeting those needs, and articulating the model in a grant proposal. A summary of course goals and student requirements is provided along with a description of the campus, student-family housing apartment complex which was the focus of the study. A student-developed schema for problem solving, used throughout the course, is presented as well as a detailed description of the seminar in process. Student learnings are summarized and a brief reference list is appended. (MCF)
