Mission of CSNS&F Programs at the Border

Provide opportunities for people at the US/Mexico border to study and develop knowledge about their own families and societal situation with the tools of Bowen Family Systems Theory.

Develop new knowledge about the challenges present in this unique region by way of the study of natural systems and the family.

Be a resource for local people who are interested in the family and other natural systems at the border. Organize existing family data from local participants in a way that will help connect family studies with science. (This includes consultation, training, and research.)

Develop bilingual resources in the study of Bowen theory.

Maintain connections within CSNS&F and with other Bowen theory programs that can also provide training and potential for research.

Receive funds for scholarship, study, and research.


Systems thinking... is directed at getting beyond cause and effect thinking and into a systems view of the human phenomenon.
