Relationships
The CYFC is a University-wide initiative that brings together more than 400 faculty, representing a range of disciplines (human development, the liberal arts, education, agriculture, and medicine), in efforts to promote collaborative research, outreach and teaching that address critical social issues facing children, youth, and families, and serve critical community needs.
As the United States becomes increasingly diverse and technology continues to “shrink” our world, we all have growing opportunities to work, play, and interact with a rich diversity of people from varying backgrounds. At this site, diversity is viewed from a broad perspective that includes many dimensions.
The purpose of this site is to provide professionals with resources and materials about family and youth resiliency, and to promote thriving relationships. Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of families, youth, and communities to be partners in building strong families, fostering positive youth development, and creating caring, safe, and productive communities.
The Prevention Research Center aims to promote the well-being of children and youth and to reduce the prevalence of high-risk behaviors and poor outcomes in children, families and communities.
