Family Research


The Family Resource Center (FRC) is invested in conducting research to inform prevention and intervention services and improve the lives of children and families.

Current Projects

Currently, the FRC is engaged in several research projects related to:

  • children's experiences of hospitalization
  • parents' and siblings' experiences of the death of a child
  • birthing person's wellbeing in pregnancy and the postpartum period
  • families' access to parenting leave
  • role of social policy context in shaping family wellbeing
If you'd like to get involved in family research, please contact Dr. Amy Claridge.
