Research to Practice
The Center for Family Resilience has launched Research to Practice Seminar Series, a year-long series of virtual seminars hosted by topical experts around a common theme. The series wraps up with an in-person event that gathers students, researchers, service providers, and policy makers to hear and engage with the Series’ monthly speakers.
The CFR is working with Springer Publishers to publish a book series titled, Emerging Issues and Alternative Perspectives on Strengthening Individuals and Families. One book in the series is published annually, based on papers authored by the Research to Practice Seminar hosts.
The goals of the book series are:
- To disseminate research-based knowledge about family resilience across academic disciplines such as family studies, human development, psychology, sociology, social work, education, religious studies, nutritional science, law, and medicine.
- To facilitate the development of evidence-based resilience practices, programs, and policies for those working with families at risk.
This year's theme is Healthy & Whole: How our Relationships with Food, Family and Stress Shape our Habits. Sessions are held virtually from 12- 1 p.m. on the 3rd Friday of the month and are open to the public and free to attend. Continuing education credits are available for each session for licensed social workers, LPC's, LMFT's, Physiologists, and Certified Family Life Educators.
