Many of us became family professionals because we wanted to be change agents – to help families and organizations better meet needs through our practice, teaching and/or research.

The Effects of Parental Divorce on the Spiritual Experiences of Young Adults: Do They Vary by Levels of Parental Conflict? Research has shown that parental divorce can have a lasting influence on the religious and spiritual lives of young adults. In particular, children of divorce tend to be more disengaged from institutional religion than their counterparts from two-parent families, even with controls for many potentially confounding factors. But do all types of divorces, or all types of marriages, have the same effects on religiousness and spirituality? Christopher Ellison, Ph.D, University of Texas at San Antonio.
