Come Celebrate USF Family Study Center’s 20th Anniversary
Join our 20th Anniversary Donor's Circle!
TAKE PART IN OUR EVENT SERIES: THINKING THREE!
Since 2003, USF’s Family Study Center has breathed life into a dynamic mental health concept relevant to every child, every family, every community – coparenting. Once a concept thought of only as it pertained to post-divorce families, it is now recognized that around the world, nearly every infant and toddler will grow up in a family collective where there are multiple caregiving adults, or coparents.
The Family Study Center has been ground zero for creative new scholarship and intervention models supporting coparenting within the full diversity of modern family constellations. This year, marking our 20th anniversary, we invite professionals, funders, parents and policy-makers to come learn with us. We will recap the most important new advances in understanding and supporting babies, toddlers and families during the first three years, when supports matter most!
Our event series, “Thinking Three”, reminds us that intervening with child-parent dyads alone is seldom sufficient if the goal is family stabilization, support and thriving. Join in for our events – check this site often for the latest updated information as additional details become available!
