To successfully foster family resilience, it is important to support families from the beginning of their development. Based on findings from an early childhood attachment styles study, we are working to develop and disseminate family care interventions.  We seek to strengthen families by helping them prepare for and face challenges and preventing various life stage events from becoming a crisis for the entire family.
