The Family Science Summer Institute (FSSI) is a 5-day intensive event that provides training and mentoring opportunities for 15-20 graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, early career researchers, and other highly qualified professionals interested in the wellbeing of military, veteran, first responder, and public safety families. The inaugural FSSI will take place at Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax, NS from May 26 – 30, 2025.
The Summer Institute offers an immersive, interdisciplinary learning experience focused on Family Science research, theories, and practices. Participants will develop core competencies in areas such as applying Family Science methods and ethics, networking and building professional relationships, and disseminating information through public scholarship. Emphasis is also placed on enhancing cultural competence in working with Garnet families. Finally, the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion are woven throughout the institute, ensuring an inclusive and equitable learning environment.
