June 21, 2018:  Special Statement on Current U.S. Family Climate, Social Justice, and Policy
Groves Conference on Marriage and Family is a professional organization in the United States focused on the study of families and the promotion of social justice to assure family well-being. Groves urges the immediate cessation of the current inhumane practice of separating children and parents at the U.S.-Mexico border.  It is well known that traumatic family separations disrupt family bonds, harming both children and parents.  Groves calls for an immediate review of federal and state policies and systems to insure that the human rights of all children and parents are secured, now and in the future.

​The 2019 Groves Conference Was a Success!
