The Protective Factor Framework is a researched-informed approach to strengthening families. When implemented, it enhances child development, increases family strengths, reduces the risk for child abuse and neglect, and enables children to thrive. The framework can be implemented through small but significant everyday actions. It can build on and become a part of existing programs, strategies, systems, and community opportunities. Professionals can help families build parental resilience, social connections, concrete support in times of need, knowledge of parenting and child development, and social-emotional competence of children. More than 30 states are shifting policy and practice to help programs and providers working with children to take everyday actions to support parents and build protective factors.Zoom link will be emailed to registrants.

The nationally-adopted Standards of Quality for Family Strengthening & Support are used by public departments, foundations, networks, community-based organizations, and parents used as a tool for planning, providing, and assessing quality practice. Based on the Principles of Family Support Practice and the Strengthening Families Framework and its research-based, evidence-informed 5 Protective Factors, they have created a common language across different kinds of Family Strengthening and Family Support programs such as Family Resource Centers, home visiting programs, and child development programs.This certification training details how the Standards can enhance work with families. Whether you are setting up a new program or strengthening an existing one, the Standards provide a blueprint for implementing best practices. Participants from Programs are highly encouraged to come as teams with Executive Directors, Managers, Coordinators, and Direct Service Staff, as each has a key role in implementing the Standards effectively. Participants who complete two days of training will receive a certificate from the National Family Support Network that is valid for two years.
