Description
History
The Chicago Center for Family Health was founded in 1991 by John Rolland, MD and Froma Walsh, PhD, with a senior faculty of 20 distinguished family therapists. Their goal was to establish a Center that would provide innovative clinical training and services to promote healthy family functioning and resilience. Together they developed training programs, collaborative projects, and clinical services grounded in their resilience-oriented, strengths-based approach. The CCFH faculty has grown to include over 40 mental health professionals who specialize in a variety of clinical areas. CCFH is recognized today as one of the foremost family therapy training institutes in the world.
In response to the needs of the health and mental health professionals we serve, we have developed specialized training programs for school-based professionals, divorce mediators, health care professionals, and clinicians who work with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender clients. CCFH Clinical Fellows and Faculty in private practice offer expert counseling and therapy services for families, couples and individuals facing a variety of life challenges. We collaborate with agencies to provide community programs benefiting families.
CCFH is a non-profit, 501 (c)(3), independent affiliate of the University of Chicago. We are autonomous from the university and are responsible for our own funding and governance.
