Presider: Shelley MacDermid Wadsworth, Ph.D., Purdue University
The workshop includes (1) a research update with Dr. Karney for practitioners about marriage and divorce in military families and (2) breakout sessions on marital education, family therapy, community capacity building, and military family therapy policies and practice. These sessions will be led by experienced providers and researchers, including our own NCFR members who study or create programs for military families. No cost for this extra session, and lunch is included; pre-registration is required however.
If you have always wanted to submit a proposal, but afraid to try it, come to the table at the University Receptions and ask your questions. There will be NCFR professionals who will answer your questions and give helpful tips on how to prepare your proposal. The procedures for submitting a conference proposal are changing in 2012. This process should be less cumbersome, but specific guidelines need to be followed. The experts will outline the changes for 2012, and give you handouts.
