Therapeutic Jurisprudence and the Ecology of Human Development
Therapeutic Jurisprudence
A central tenet of CFCC's work is therapeutic jurisprudence (TJ), which aims explicitly to improve the lives of families and children in court. A critical role of judges and lawyers is to help resolve the family's legal problems and to strengthen the emotional and psychological well-being of families and children.
Ecology of Human Development
This holistic, social science approach explores the many different systems affecting the lives of families and children. These include families, children, schools, faith-based institutions, the workplace and community activities.
