FamilyLab is inspired by our staff in Europe, The Americas and Australasia. We draw upon new research from all corners of the world. But most importantly, we keep our finger on the pulse though our own families and through the thousands of interactions we have with families who we meet at seminars, workshops and who seek counselling.
