International Family Stress Network

The International Family Stress Network (IFSN) is a collaborative research group that studies how families experience and manage stress across different cultures and circumstances. Its goal is to understand the factors that influence family stability, mental health, and well-being when facing challenges like economic hardship, health issues, or social disruptions. By sharing data and insights globally, the IFSN aims to improve support systems, develop effective interventions, and promote resilience within families worldwide. Essentially, it is a scientific effort to better understand family stress and foster healthier family environments across diverse populations.
