Citadel FHES

Another interesting fact that I appreciate about Family Life Education is the advocacy for Family law and Public Policy. Growing up as a child I just knew I was going to be a lawyer. Although I chose a different path, I am grateful for the opportunity
to educate families and individuals on laws and public policy while advocating for the rights for individuals and groups in my community.

VIII. Family Law and Public Policy

Family law and Public policy is the understanding of legal issues, policies, and laws influencing the well being of families. Family and Law (relating to marriage, cohabitation, divorce, family support, child custody, child protection and rights, and family planning). All the while providing resources on Family and Social Services, Family and Education, Family and the Economy, Family and Religion, Policy and Family (public policy as it affects the family, including tax, civil rights,
social security, economic support laws, and regulations.

My goal is to provide support and education to communities that are under educated and overlooked when it comes to Law and Public Policy. I want to ensure that every individual
and family have the tools need to vote properly and how to advocate for better resources, economic benefits, and housing support. The law is what creates order and through my sessions, I hope to incorporate reliable non-biased information on your community's laws and public policies.

Accountability is a strength, not a weakness. Parents are humans and prone to mistakes like everyone else.

If you want to build a deeper connection with your children, admit when you get things wrong, go back and correct what you said, acknowledge that you misunderstood, and apologize for knowing better now and making errors in the past.

It's Friyay! With so many different things going on I thought I would share the next context on this beautiful Friday.

III. Human Growth and Development Across the Lifespan.

This topic is my educational background, and I am so pleased to be able to educate on the lifespan in families and individuals. With my certification I can go into schools, medical, and mental health spaces to discuss our development as we progress through life. I can provide an understanding of developmental changes of individuals and families. I base all my resources on the knowledge of physical, emotional, cognitive, social, moral, and personality aspects.

My research spans from: Prenatal, Infancy, Early and Middle Childhood, Adolescences, and Adulthood (early, middle, and late)

Can you guess which stage is my favorite?
