Family Panel

The family panel includes leaders of national and state-wide family organizations with knowledge about education, mental health, juvenile justice, child welfare and early intervention practices. The Center draws upon them to reduce the gaps between researchers, practitioners, and the consumers of services, and to ensure that Center products involve the expertise of families in their development and are useable by all families.

The Family Panel members are grouped alphabetically by last name - to find a particular person, use the links below to access contact information, website (where available), and a list of areas of expertise.
