What we do at FARR-net requires a connection with the community around us. Our research is just part of what we do. We also believe that we can educate others with our findings.
We are excited to work with schools, organizations, and educators looking for ways their members can speak with youth, families, or education groups about how relationships influence us across the lifespan.
If you are interested in these opportunities, please contact us by emailing Dr. Nicole Campione-Barr at campionebarrn@missouri.edu.
