The Illinois Rural Families Program
Strong families and healthy children are fundamentally important human resources in rural communities. The Illinois Rural Families Program (IRFP), a program of the Family Resiliency Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, works to advance the sustainable development of these human resources in rural Illinois by conducting practical, applied research and outreach that promotes the well-being of rural families.
