The conference aims to further the policy-research-practice nexus on Asian Families by providing a platform for policymakers, researchers and practitioners from Asia to come together to dialogue and exchange knowledge on strengthening Asian families.
Our Keynote Speakers
Our opening keynote will shed light on Strong Families - (i) what they are; how they work, (ii) why are they important, and (iii) how can policymakers, practitioners and researchers work together to study, support and strengthen/build strong families.
Prof Shek will be sharing on how family resilience protects family well-being from the negative impact of COVID-19 stressors. While macro policies to meet the challenges under COVID-19 are valuable, Prof Shek will share how building up family resilience can help to empower families.
