In four decades of remarkable achievement, The Family Institute has brought hope and healing to more than 25,000 families and - in the process - helped change the face of mental health care.

Through pioneering development of family-based psychotherapy...groundbreaking methods of professional education...unprecedented outreach to poor and underserved communities...and a unique academic partnership with Northwestern University, The Family Institute has forged creative, proactive responses to the changing needs of families...and helped tens of thousands lead happier, healthier, more satisfying lives.

Much like a teaching hospital in the medical arena, The Family Institute is a center for direct care, professional education and new discovery.
