About Us
The Couples and Relationship Enrichment (CARE) Lab is dedicated to helping relationships thrive. Through applied research and outreach, we strive to promote healthy and resilient couple relationships.
Who We Are
Our Mission
To advance the scientific understanding of relationship health and translate research into practical, evidence-based tools and accessible programs that empower couples from all backgrounds to build strong, lasting connections.
To advance relationship science and practice, we conduct research on the factors that contribute to individual, couple, and family well-being, ensuring that our work is grounded in evidence.
From this foundation, we develop, implement, and evaluate relationship education programs designed to strengthen connections and improve outcomes.
By partnering with agencies and organizations, we deliver community-based interventions that support and enhance couple relationships in real-world settings.
Additionally, we are committed to training undergraduate and graduate students in applied relationship science, preparing the next generation of professionals to carry this work forward.
