Growing Up Again is a four-part video series that has been the focal point of an interagency effort by three Washington state agencies to reach and provide guidance to parents, particularly those raised in dysfunctional homes who now are experiencing difficulty in the effort to raise their own children. The video series, which features Jean Illsley Clarke, has been extremely well-received throughout Washington State because it describes a comprehensive model, one which addresses the needs of the parent as well as those of the child. A Leader's Guide has been developed for Growing Up Again and facilitators' workshops are available.

The program contains six 30-minute videos along with a Leader's Guide and a series of supplementary photo novellas.
