Research
Through The Center for Applied Psychological and Family Studies at Northwestern University, we conduct innovative research based on the Scientist-Practitioner Model, an ongoing feedback loop where research improves practice and our clinical practice informs our research.
We work with our clients to PARTNER TO SEE CHANGE.
Our mission is to strengthen and heal families and individuals from all walks of life through clinical services, education and research. Hear from President and CEO, Jana L. Jones.
Our ability to conduct and disseminate relationship-based behavioral health research, provide a world-class education for the future leaders of behavioral healthcare and serve children, adults, couples and families regardless of ability to pay, is made possible, in part, by gifts and grants from individuals, families and foundations. Your contribution helps us positively impact families and our overall population's whole health. The Family Institute is an independent, not-for-profit organization.
