The Strong Roots Study aims to better understand what helps parents and children thrive, particularly during stressful times. The project examines how individuals, family relationships, and neighborhood contexts shape resilience in families. By studying parents and children together, the Strong Roots Study hopes to identify the processes that support family well-being.

The goal of the Strong Roots Study is to learn more about what helps parents and children thrive, especially during stressful times. The study looks at different aspects of family life, including parents' well-being, social support, personality, and neighborhood features as well as children's emotions and behaivors. By looking at both the parents and the children together, we hope to explore the many ways families navigate challenges and support one another.
