When You Arrive Onsite
The badge pickup area is located on the 2nd floor, Olympic Tower. Stop by to retrieve your conference badge, ask questions about navigating the conference — locating events and services, etc. Badge pickup hours are:
Thursday & Friday, Nov. 21-22 — 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday, Nov. 23 — 7 to 11:30 a.m.
*Remember, your conference badge must be worn at all times in the conference meeting spaces.
Getting Around the Conference Space
Please note: The 2nd and 3rd floors of the Hyatt Regency are in two different towers with their own elevators — Olympic Tower and Cascade Tower. A flight of steps connects the two 2nd floors; the two 3rd floors do not connect. To get to session rooms, look for the tower elevators closest to your destination.
Stay safe during the conference! Avoid traveling by yourself and check in on friends, colleagues, and other conference goers. Instead of venturing out into the city, consider using a delivery service for food or needed items such as Door Dash, Uber Eats, or InstaCart. Please see more safety tips here: https://www.ncfr.org/ncfr-2024/health-safety#safety

Thursday Plenary
Re-Conceptualizing Resilience in African American Families: The Need for Paradigm Shift and New Methodological Approaches
#213 | 10:15 – 11:30 a.m. PST | Add to agenda
Grand Ballroom A/B/C/D/E/F/G
NBCC CE Credit: #1.0 hr and Conference Attendance Credit: #1.0 hr
Presented by: Velma McBride Murry, Ph.D.
Velma McBride Murry, Ph.D., is Lois Autrey Betts Endowed Chair at Vanderbilt University. She is co-director of the Program for Health Equity Research (PHER) at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Dr. McBride Murry is Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Health Policy and the Department of Human and Organizational Development.
African American families navigate not only everyday stressors and adversities, but also unique sociocultural stressors (e.g., "toxic upstream waters" like oppression). Despite these challenges, African American families have developed resilience and engage in resistance, drawing on strength-based adaptive coping strategies, to some extent, to navigate and swim in toxic oppressive waters. Dr. McBride Murry will address how resistance can, which at times leads to positive adaptations, be incorporated into the study of resilience.
