We are particularly interested in workshops, symposia, and individual papers on the following sub-themes: families, culture, and resilience; cultural discourse on “family”; trauma and family; family and help-seeking; family-centered care for refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrant communities; families caring for their chronically mentally ill parent or child; evolving concepts of family; the family and suicide; the role of families in the internet and new technologies culture; training in family therapy and culture; and family through the lifespan.
