About NCFR

NCFR, the National Council on Family Relations, is the leading professional association for the interdisciplinary study of families. More than 1,000 NCFR members have a keen interest in the study and practice of marriage and family therapy and delivery of clinical services to at-risk families.

Why should you attend this year's annual conference?

Even though the NCFR Annual Conference covers a broad range of topics--parent education, family outreach, program evaluation,and family research--you will find many sessions that inform your practice, provide research background, and relate to serving families. You'll see that...

  • NCFR catalyzes research, theory, and practice
  • Practice sessions (“P”) focus on methods or implications for practice
  • Research sessions (“R”) relate to research results that inform practice (couple relationships, parenting, child and adolescent development, and more)
  • Multidisciplinary perspectives:  mental and physical health, demography, public policy, aging, religion, feminism and more
