Families serve as an essential source of strength, healing, and hope during times of challenge and hardship. For this monograph, the focus is on scholarship and professional practice which capture the role that families play in helping their own members and the larger society manage the vicissitudes of life. What family strengths are essential? How can relationships experience healing and reconciliation? What role does hope play in times of trouble?

The theme in this call for manuscripts is "Families as Sources of Strength, Healing and Hope." Full manuscripts are due by September 30, 2024. Manuscripts can be emailed to [email protected].
