Mission
The Oregon social learning center is a collaborative, multidisciplinary center dedicated to increasing the scientific understanding of social and psychological processes related to healthy development and family functioning. Oslc applies that understanding to healthy development and family functioning. That understanding is applied to the design and evaluation of interventions that strengthen children, adolescents, families and communities.
What it reported doing in 2024
