Welcome to the UVic Couples and Families Lab!

University of Victoria - British Columbia

We are dedicated to the mission of helping couples build strong and healthy relationships. We are interested in how relationships develop and change over time and how couples handle the inevitable conflicts and stress that come from being in a committed relationship. We focus on how partners communicate, how they see themselves and their relationships, and how they handle stress. We are also interested in how close relationships affect each partner's well-being and the well-being of their children. The ultimate goal of our research is to develop ways to help couples build more resilient and fulfilling relationships.
