Mark Agars, Director

Welcome from the Director

Thank you for visiting the ICDFR. Our primary mission is to serve the needs of children and families though our research, education and training, and by providing direct services. The heart of the ICDFR is comprised of the many faculty at California State University, San Bernardino. It is their research interests, activities, and expertise in child and family that drive the work we do. Of course much of our impact also comes through partnerships with agencies in the local community who provide financial support and resources, access to research populations, training sites, and expert collaborations. We are truly grateful for these vital relationships. 

Our goal is to be a valued resource for agencies and families in in the inland region and beyond. I invite you to explore our programs and the resources throughout our website. I hope you find points of interest, and I welcome a note or a call from you if you would like to discuss opportunities for partnership.  

Sincerely,

Mark D. Agars, Ph.D.
ICDFR Director
