In the past, most of the research on families focused on what was wrong with them, rather than what was right. Today, the research field is shifting and beginning to examine what, exactly, makes a family strong, and researchers are breaking new ground in the area of strong families. Search Institute and the General Mills Foundation recently conducted a national study on family strengths where they asked youth, parents, and other adults from around the United States to share their definition of a “strong family”.
Coming Soon: The results of this groundbreaking study will become available to the public this November!
Until then, you can learn more about family strengths from the individual stories told by inspiring families from across the country in a new documentary, Family Strengths: Growing Together, co-produced by Twin Cities Public Television, Search Institute, The McKnight Foundation, and ParentFurther.
