Strengthening Families Protective Factors Orientation 2023

The Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework consists of five research-based protective factors that, when robust in families, promote stability and healthy child development. Families who are resilient, have social connections, know how to meet basic needs, and understand child development are more likely to rear healthy children. This strengths-based approach promotes family stability through encouraging the development of protective factors. Participants will discuss practical tools and strategies that they can use in their interactions with families in community-based settings that support all families.
