The HDFS Department and the College of Human Sciences value collaboration that facilitates the translation of research to real-world solutions for families and individuals. Besides collaborating on research projects, we engage in multiple collaborative professional education and dissemination activities.

Center for Family Resilience
The mission of the CFR is to create and disseminate scientific knowledge that builds to programmatic and policy solutions that promote individual and family resilience. I have been the Associate Director for Education and Translation at the Center for Family Resilience since 2012. The goal of the Education and Translation is to help the dissemination of acquired knowledge and the transfer of that knowledge to everyday professional practice.

Annual Chautauqua: Conference on Family Resilience. To learn about the most recent and upcoming Chautauquas, visit our Chautauqua webpage
In 2008, colleagues in the HDFS Department had the idea of gathering a few national colleagues, bringing them to Oklahoma, and having a small conference where presentation time would be followed by long periods of discussion. We chose the term Chautauqua because we were hosting an "educational opportunity in rural America." The original Chautauquas were focused on parenting themes, but recently evolved to focus on resilience. I have been involved in conceiving, planning, and hosting five Chautauquas, now called the Conference on Family Resilience. Go to the CFR website to learn about our next conference. In the past, national speakers have included: |
Authoritative Parenting: Synthesizing Nurturance and Discipline for Optimal Child Development.
The participants in the 2010 Chautauqua wrote chapters that were compiled in an edited book published by APA Books: Larzelere, R., Morris, A. S., & Harrist, A. W. (Eds.). (2012). Authoritative parenting: Synthesizing nurturance and discipline for optimal child development. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association Press. |
