    This Saturday! Exclusive Ambiguous Loss Workshop with Pauline Boss

    Saturday, Nov. 19, 2022 / 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT
    $149 for NCFR members / $189 for nonmembers (lunch included)
    Hilton Minneapolis / 2022 NCFR Annual Conference


    NCFR will host a postconference workshop to its conference lineup on ambiguous loss theory with Pauline Boss, Ph.D., who first pioneered this theory.

    The goal of this workshop is to equip a new generation of qualified ambiguous loss experts, using a "train the trainers" approach. It is intended for family therapists, clinicians, and other educators already familiar with the basics of ambiguous loss theory and ready for case study applications.


    Add any pre- or post conference workshop when you register for the conference, or add it your registration separately at my.ncfr.org.

    Call for Authors: 2023 NCFR Conference Theme
    Families in the Post-Pandemic Era

    Start thinking about the 2023 NCFR Annual Conference theme!  In line with the theme developed by Conference Chair M. Elise Radina, Ph.D., “The way we are now,” Family Focus, a section of NCFR Report member magazine, will explore the syndemic—a pandemic that occurs simultaneously as preexisting social and health pandemics—and provide research on where families are in the present day and what unique and unexpected challenges they currently face or may experience ahead.

    Articles are sought that highlight advances that have been made, as well as gaps that may still exist, in research, practice, theory, and policies that affect the lives of families “post-pandemic.”

    For example:
    • What have we learned from research on how families have coped with stress and the changing dynamics in families and between families and their community?
    • What theories and methodologies have evolved to advance the way we understand and study families?
    • How has the work of Family Science practitioners (e.g., Family Life Educators, family therapists) progressed to meet the changing needs of families?
    • In what ways have policies passed during the past few years impacted families, and how will they continue to influence families?

    Submit your proposals by Monday, Dec. 5, 2022, by completing the online proposal form. Final articles are due Jan. 15, 2023.

    Zippy's Video of the Week
    Explore the Skyways of Minneapolis


    Visitors to Minneapolis for the 2022 NCFR Annual Conference may feel daunted by the snow and cold temperatures, especially if traveling from a warmer climate.

    But have no fear! Much of downtown is connected by an indoor skyway that limits the need to walk outside.

    This week's video is a visual guide to the skyways. We've also included some helpful links for navigating the skyways, including interactive maps. Have fun exploring Minneapolis!

    TAKE TO THE SKIES!
