Spring 2025: Family Resource Management

Submit Articles by March 15, 2025

The spring 2025 issue of CFLE Network will explore Family Resource Management (FRM), one of the 10 content areas required to become a Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE). FRM is an important, and often stressful, topic for families. Across time, many families navigate scarce resources such as time or money, value or goal conflicts, and difficult decision-making. CFLEs have the knowledge and tools to support families on the journey toward better resource management. Share how you address FRM in your Family Life Education (FLE) work.

Examples of potential topics include the following and more:

  • Skills and creative methods you employ to support families navigating FRM challenges
  • Your personal experience addressing FRM in FLE
  • Challenges you have faced doing this work
  • Tips and/or resources that you have found to help you in this work 
  • Research supporting the importance of FRM for families

Prospective authors should submit their articles through the CFLE Network Article Submission Form online at www.ncfr.org/form/cfle-network-article-submission-form by Mar. 15, 2025. Before submission, please review the author guidelines on the CFLE Network newsletter page: www.ncfr.org/cfle-network. Contact the CFLE Network editor, Beth Magistad at [email protected] with questions, ideas, and intentions.
