Recapturing The Vision Competitors

Through research, education and clinical services, The Family Institute at Northwestern University is one of the nation's leading relationship-based behavioral health organizations committed to strengthening and healing children and adolescents, couples, families and individuals. As researchers, educators and therapists, we work with our clients and PARTNER TO SEE CHANGE. Since 1965, The Family Institute, in cooperation with Northwestern University’s Graduate School and Office of Research, houses The Center for Applied Psychological and Family Studies. Our long-standing partnership with Northwestern University ranks us among the top relationship-based behavioral health graduate education and research programs in the country. For those who cannot afford therapy, we offer high-quality counseling services to children, individuals, couples and families through our Bette D. Harris Family & Child Clinic, the Clinic is staffed by our outstanding graduate-level therapists-in-training, who are educated and supervised by our renowned therapists.

The National Council on Family Relations is the premier professional association for understanding and strengthening families through interdisciplinary research, theory, and practice. NCFR — a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization — provides an educational forum for family researchers, educators, and practitioners to share in the development and dissemination of knowledge about families and family relationships; establishes professional standards; and works to promote family well-being.

Vision for Children at Risk (VCR) promotes the well-being of children, youth, and their families, with a primary focus on those impacted by socioeconomic risk and racial inequity. We do this by: informing the community with data and research; promoting collaborative action; engaging and supporting families; and advocating for child well-being through policy and community investment.
