The Conference Center Conference of Focus International Commission on Couple and Family Relations' 57th International Conference 3/12/2010 - 3/14/2010 ; Malta There is no substitute for the family it is an irreplaceable gift to society. Worldwide concern about the problems families are facing promotes the vital need to empower the family and help it rediscover its innate abilities and potentialities. The family is not an agent which receives only but which has a lot to give and this makes it a potential stakeholder in policy making. Rather than implement policies which penalize the family, states are duty-bound to implement family friendly policies. The conference will therefore focus on ways to sustain and empower the family. It will provide a forum for sharing ideas and new initiatives. Keynote presentations will be given by internationally recognised experts. Among the sub-topics to be addressed: Sustaining families with social and economic problems Intergeneration issues Health issues Empowering caring agencies Sustaining families in the educational field Sustaining families with disability realities Sustaining families going through crisis There will be workshops offering the chance to explore topics in more depth. Study group sessions will be held to develop international, multidisciplinary perspectives on conference topics and participants interests.
