The Family Institute at Northwestern University operates in the mental health care sector, delivering research, education, and clinical services to support children, adolescents, couples, families, and individuals. In partnership with Northwestern University's Graduate School and Office of Research, it houses The Center for Applied Psychological and Family Studies, a collaboration dating back to 1965 that links graduate education with relationship-focused research. The Bette D. Harris Family & Child Clinic provides low-cost counseling for children, individuals, couples, and families, with services delivered by graduate-level therapists supervised by experienced clinicians. Based in Evanston, Illinois, the organization serves a broad client base across ages and relationship contexts. In 2024, The Family Institute launched three new clinical-practice teams—Trauma, Emerging Adults, and Sexuality—to address evolving needs within its practice.
