Family Policy & Advocacy

Catalog description

This doctoral level course examines US and international public policy and law through a family lens. Economic, social and relationship, health and mental health, barriers and access to mental health, measures of child and family well-being, immigration and migration, and housing policies are few of the key issues that might be examined through a lens of social justice. A full life-span approach will be taken so as to cover several key current family policy trends.
