Child and Family Health and Wellbeing
The Family Resiliency Center aims to expand understanding of the ecological, economic, cultural and family level factors that promote health and wellbeing for children and families. Family, school, and primary care-based interventions using a strengths-based approach can reduce health disparities and morbidities associated with chronic health conditions and improve quality of life for children and families.
