About this Event
When families are strong, so too are local communities. We know that families bring economic dynamism, that stable families boost educational and economic performance, and that families are linked to combined happiness. But family formation is falling in most communities across the United States. What can we do, policy wise, to make communities more family friendly? Professor Wilcox will talk about housing policy, economic incentives, and the Success Sequence as ways to strengthen families in our community in San Antonio.
Knowledge is powerful, and you can be a part of having a positive impact on the future of families in San Antonio by equipping yourself with further knowledge about what creates successful families. Your further knowledge can help you empower families and young adults in our community, as well as become empowered for the future of your very own family.
