Description
The National Council on Family Relations (NCFR) was founded in 1938 and provides a professional forum through which members seek means of strengthening marriage and family life. The Council enables professional practitioners; academicians; and laypersons interested in family education, counseling, research, and action to work together on the establishment of professional standards, the promotion and coordination of educational efforts, the encouragement of research, the extension of community services for families, and the encouragement of coherent government policies pertaining to family life.
