The fundamental guiding document of the Family Studies Center is The Family: A Proclamation to the World, by the First Presidency and Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Family Studies Center associates seek to understand and promote the principles articulated in this proclamation through research, with outreach activities for interested audiences worldwide.

Brigham Young University has the largest concentration of family scholars in the world. More than 75 faculty members at Brigham Young University focus on marriage, parenting, and family development. The Family Studies Center provides support to these scholars and disseminates the results of their research to families, educators, church and social organizations, family practitioners, government agencies, and the public with the goal of providing practical tools to use in strengthening family relationships.

Please direct questions regarding the Family Studies Center or its web site to Yevon Romney, the Administrative Secretary. You can reach the Family Studies Center by calling (801) 422-2948.
