OCFR Healthy Families Conference

Registration is open for the 2009 Oklahoma Council on Family Relations Conference on March 6 at the University of Central Oklahoma's Nigh University Center.

The theme for the 29th annual OCFR conference, Healthy Families: Physical, Sexual and Emotional Wellness, was chosen both to help attendees better understand the many aspects of family wellness and to promote resiliency within the family. The conference will focus on the practices that promote physical, sexual and emotional wellness in families. Participants will be challenged to explore their assumptions about what makes a family healthy. Sessions also will explore best practices of family advocates.

I will be leading a round table discussion entitled "Supporting Children and Youth after Divorce".

The conference is designed to address a balance of academic, research, application and policy interests with a theme that is broad enough to address a variety of topics relating to families of all forms and family members at any age or stage.

I hope to see you there!

The top three topics couples argue about are sex, money, and children, and yet most couples avoid talking about these topics until a credit card bill comes in the mail, a discipline issue arises or it's the couples' anniversary and one person, and only one person, wants to have sex.
