How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Global Collaborative Capacity Buildingmethodology: international-collaboration-for-social-justiceBy fostering international collaboration and providing targeted scholarly development to underrepresented and international scholars, we strengthen the global field of family therapy because diverse voices and cross-cultural learning improve the rigor, relevance, and equity of research and practice.
- Reciprocal Theory-Practice-Research Integrationmethodology: theory-practice-research integrationBy creating a feedback loop between clinical practice, research, and theory, we advance the field of family therapy because insights from practice improve research relevance and theoretical development, while research findings directly inform better clinical outcomes and training.
- Systems Thinking and Social Justice as Foundational Criteriamethodology: systems-thinking-and-social-justiceBy using critical systems thinking and a commitment to social justice as core filters for research funding and project selection, we produce more equitable and culturally responsive advancements in family systems work because these lenses ensure structural inequities are addressed, not just individual or familial dynamics.
