We work in a diversity-sensitive and actively pluralistic way. We strive for a multidisciplinary approach to families,
- often in close cooperation with the Family Science and Psychosocial Gerontology programmes;
- in an atmosphere of openness and consultation with partners in the field and in civil society, with the aim of strengthening each other.
Our main stakeholders are:
- Social professionals who work with families on a daily basis and whom we want to support in this process;
- organisations from the field of work and civil society that stand up for the interests of families and that we want to strengthen in this respect;
- various authorities that develop policies for families and that we want to advise in this respect.
In accordance with our objectives, our team of researchers and staff members is multidisciplinary and diverse. Most staff members also have a teaching or supporting role in one of the Odisee programmes.
