Author Don Peck pulls together information from many places-including scholarly sources familiar to NCFR. This article caught my eye because of two family scholars he quotes-Glen Elder and Kathryn Edin (speakers at NCFR conferences)-as well as input from Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman and other experts.
In this issue, we explore various stresses - including poverty, war and immigration, chronic illness and disability - experienced by families and children. We also explore ways of coping and programs that help foster resilience.
