CFLE in Context: A Framework for Best Practices in Family Life Education

by Sharon M. Ballard, Ph.D., FLE & Alan C. Taylor, Ph.D., CFLE

Family life education is relevant across the lifespan, is inclusive of all types of families, and is designed to meet the needs of the target audience.

Therefore, we advocate for the need for evidence-based practices, which often are called best practices.
