Welcome!

Have you ever wondered what your child thinks about herself and her behavior?

Or how your child understands his social and cultural experiences?

Or how you should talk to your child about sensitive issues?

Or how families successfully adapt to stressful events?

If you would like to learn more about these and other areas of research that are relevant to yourself, your family, and your friends, please consider joining the Family Academy at Western Washington University!

Members of the Department of Psychology at Western Washington University are looking for volunteers who are interested in participating in studies of family development. Families are compensated for participation. Benefits include spending some time with your family and taking part in the promotion of science and discovery!
