A3 – Supporting Healthy Relationships and Healthy Families: A Whole Family Approach in Southern New Jersey   

The Pascale Sykes Foundation, in partnership with The Senator Walter Rand Institute for Public Affairs at Rutgers University-Camden (WRI) and Family Strengthening Network, will present evaluative findings from a study on the Whole Family Approach. The presentation will describe the Whole Family Approach, highlight study results, and include a family who has benefited from the approach. The presentation will show that families who identify a second adult as a social support fair better overall in personal growth as well as with relationships with and between children.

Presenters: Ross Whiting and Madeliene Alger, Walter Rand Institute-Rutgers University, Camden, NJ; Lydia Ramsey, Family Strengthening Network, Bridgeton, NJ
