The Orelena Hawks Puckett Institute is a not-for-profit organization engaging in activities that enhance and promote healthy child, parent and family functioning. Our goal is to foster adoption of evidence-based practices that build on the capacities and strengths of children, parents and families, communities, and public and private organizations. This is accomplished using different approaches and strategies that draw from a wealth of knowledge and experiences for improving efforts directed at supporting and strengthening family functioning.
Our research-to-practice activities emphasize positive aspects of behavior that support and strengthen child, parent, and family development.
The Puckett Institute is dedicated to the advancement of policies and practices that are respectful and sensitive to cultural, racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity.
