Increasing Positive Outcomes For Children And Families
Children are more likely to thrive when their families have the support they need. 
​That's why all of the services we provide are developed using the 
Strengthening Families framework.  The Strengthening Families framework is a research-informed approach to increase family strengths, enhance child development, and reduce the likelihood of child abuse and neglect. 

At the center of the Strengthening Families framework are the Five Protective Factors.  Research shows that these protective factors are “promotive” factors, building on family strengths and creating a family environment that promotes
​optimal child and youth development. 
​
The Strengthening Families Five Protective Factors are:
Parental Resilience—The ability to cope and bounce back from all types of challenges.
Social Connections—Friends, family members, neighbors and other members of the community who provide emotional support and concrete assistance to parents.
Knowledge of Parenting and Child Development— Accurate information about raising young children and appropriate expectations for their behavior/development.
Concrete Support in Times of Need—Financial security to cover day to day expenses and unexpected costs that come up from time-to-time, access to formal supports like TANF and Medicaid, and informal support from social networks.
Children’s Social and Emotional Development—A child’s ability to interact positively with others.
