	About MCFR Mission Statement   The Minnesota Council on Family Relations strengthens all   families by educating and supporting family professionals   and promoting connections among those involved in   research, policy, and practice. Philosophies/Values   We believe:    - Families and professionals mutually benefit when      professionals pursue continuing education, apply current      research and theory, practice and uphold ethical      professional standards, and use best practices.    - Families exist in a variety of forms. The strengths and      abilities of all families need to be recognized and nurtured.    - Multi disciplinary dialogue enhances the ability of family      professionals to effectively work with and for families.    - Families are best served within the framework that      emphasizes family strengths, diversity, interconnectedness      and social context.      (Approved 11/2005) 2012 MCFR Board of Directors President San Ha Immediate Past President Leanne Sponsel Treasurer Beth Yokom Members At Large Mike Bender Mike P.
