Our work changes

lives. And that will

never change.

Since its founding, the Hallie
Ford Center has been a home

for knowledge and application
to help every person, family

and community flourish. As we
look forward, we expand our

commitment to:

• Increasing resilience among children and families,
especially during times of hardship and uncertainty.
• Helping families navigate big transitions, from
developmental milestones to changes in schools, peer
groups, neighborhoods and family life.

• Understanding the sources and consequences of
inequality, responding to crises of housing instability,
food insecurity and school success.

• Building research capacity on the mental health of
children, youth and parents.

• Nurturing work in epigenetics, gaining knowledge
on the connections between gene-environment
interactions during childhood and later chronic
conditions in adulthood.

• Probing the long-term effects of childhood experiences
on adulthood and aging.

• Collaborating with other great minds in centers and
institutes in the Pacific Northwest and California, and
across our nation and world.

We’re making a difference.

Let’s keep going.
