The Illinois Rural Families Program
Welcome to the Illinois Rural Families Program!
Strong families and healthy children are fundamentally important human resources in rural communities. The Illinois Rural Families Program (IRFP), a program of the Family Resiliency Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, works to advance the sustainable development of these human resources in rural Illinois by conducting practical, applied research and outreach that promotes the well-being of rural families.
