About

the College/Unit/Department:

The Center for Community and Family Research conducts pioneering research on the ways in which stress affects family relationships, youth development, and adult health, with an emphasis on Black American populations in the southern United States. We study how families and individuals thrive in the face of stress from social and environmental stressors like racism and poverty. Central to this research is the translation of basic research on development and health into empirically proven preventive interventions that leverage the strengths of families to promote family well‑being.
