Welcome to the Official National Family Development Credential Program! Many states have worked with
us to develop affiliated FDC programs that adhere to these requirements and use the
Empowerment Skills books by Dr. Claire Forest. This ensures that regardless of location, those
who have earned the FDC have similar training. To learn about establishing an FDC system in your
state, please contact National Family Development Credential Program Manager at:
nationalfdc@uconn.edu or Dr. Claire Forest, National FDC Director at
cnd3@cornell.edu
