Bowers
Urbana, Illinois
Most of my research has been applied and focused on planning, developing, implementing, and evaluating research-based, family life education programs with a specific interest in divorce and coparenting education programs. More recently, I have developed a nonprofit, divorce education program (Coparenting Alliance; www.coparentingalliance.org); program development and evaluation efforts for this project are ongoing. Previously, I worked with college students to develop a program for career and professional development: Career Skillet (www.careerskillet.org).
