IFNA Board of Directors has recently approved a Core Values statement for IFNA: " The International Family Nursing Association embraces a compassionate family focus on health, social justice, human dignity, and respect for all."

Please remember to cite all of the IFNA Position Statements in your publications, course outlines, and conference presentations. Please share the IFNA Position Statements with local and national nursing and health care leaders and organizations. Social media toolkits are available for each IFNA Position Statement. Use hashtag #IFNAPosition in your social media conversations.

Dr. Lorraine Wright (Canada) and Dr. Janice Bell (Canada) will be offering a 4-day Family Externship in Akureyi, Iceland, October 9-12, 2018.  The workshop will focus on increasing competence and confidence in generalist and advanced practice with families and is open to all health care professionals. Register here.

IFNA Listserv
Do you know that you have access to IFNA members from around the world through a group email?  All IFNA members can post a question to the IFNA listserv or share family nursing information and resources. The IFNA listserv can be accessed by using this email address: international-family-nursing-association@googlegroups.com. When sending a message, please be sure to include your personal contact information so that members can respond to you directly.

Please do not "reply all" to listserv messages; doing so often causes multiple, and sometimes unnecessary, emails to ALL members.
